Galatz, capital of the region of Galatz, is a port on the Danube estuary about 130 kilometers (about 80 miles) from the Black Sea. The city stands on a slight rise in the marshlands formed by the nearby Siret and Prut rivers, close to the southwest shore of Lake Brates, the largest freshwater lake in Romania. Local workers make their living in flour mills, grain elevators, large warehouses, petroleum refineries, rope factories, sawmills, steel mills, and the country’s largest shipyard.



The city is also a principal port of entry for textiles and metal products and has good highway and railroad connections. The chief exports are cattle, cereal grains, and timber. Educational facilities include the University of Galati and the Pedagogic Institute.
