Tabula Traiana (Trajan’s Plaque)  is the last remaining piece of evidence an ancient Roman bridge. The tablet features Latin inscriptions telling of Trajan’s bridge; the longest bridge in the world for 1,000 years following its construction. Emperor Trajan completed the road across the Danube leading into Dacia. The bridge was 1,097 m long and 20 column supported the architectural masterpiece. 

In 1969, because of the Djerdap Project, building a dam over Danube river, Trajan's carvings with the inscription / Trajan's Plaque was protected from sinking by raising it by 20/25 m. It was placed just above the original location, cutting and fixing the entire block of the old bearing - a stone monolith together with the inscription and part of the road, about 300 tons in weight.

Bigar Waterfall 😍 Romania 🇷🇴
'Located on the 45th parallel north, Bigăr Waterfall is extremely delicate and unusual, with a water curtain falling down some lush green vegetation, and is set in a very remote, peaceful, and picturesque area of Romania, where the rolling hills create a real fascination for the authenticity of our nation’s past. On our way back to the main road, we made another detour to see the water mills at Eftimie Murgu, some of them still functional, and smell the freshly ground cereal grains.'

Plenty of parking spots outside and only 50 RON per day (10 Euro ) per day . The “marble” dark grey floors in the rooms they look unclean…maybe it’s just the looks of it . I have stayed at other Ibis hotels but this was not the best of them .

Modern,spacious, and clean room. The shower was big and with great water pressure. Very helpful, friendly and available staff. Breakfast is available, however it is quite pricey for what is offered. Central location and great value for the price.
