Galati
Galati is a city in Moldavia, eastern Romania, the capital city of Galati County on the banks of the Danube, very close to Braila forming with it the Cantemir metropolitan area.
The name of the city appears to have derived from Cuman galat, which was borrowed from the Arabic qal'at (fortress). Also other etymologies were suggested, such as the Serbian galac; however the galat root appears in several nearby toponyms, some of which show clearly a Cuman origin, for example Galatui Lake, which has the typical Cuman -ui suffix for "water". A derivation from Galatia (Gaul), suggesting a Celtic origin, is possible, but unlikely.
Galati has a fine 20th century Romanian Orthodox cathedral - St. George (Sfantu Gheorghe) and another particularly striking fortified church (that of St. Mary - Sf. Precista) on the banks of the Danube, which was built in 1647 by Vasile Lupu (legend has it that a tunnel was dug from the church and under the river).Other features of the city include a botanical garden, several museums, a television tower opened to the public and offering full view of the city, the newly-restored Galati Opera House, and a sculpture park lining a promenade of several kilometres along the banks of the Danube.
