Where to stay in Schela Cladovei
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds sit in Severin. Rooms in this part of Mehedinţi County are a matter for Drobeta-Turnu Severin itself, where the Iron Gates Region Museum and the Drobeta-Turnu Severin Cathedral mark the centre a visitor works out from. Schela Cladovei stays residential, useful if the Danube and the Iron Gates are the reason for the trip rather than the city's museums.
About Schela Cladovei
What are the main landmarks in Schela Cladovei?
The named sights all carry the city's name rather than the district's: the Iron Gates Region Museum, the Art Museum in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, and the Archaeological site from Drobeta Turnu Severin. Churches take the rest. Grecescu Church and the Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary belong to the city's parishes, the Drobeta-Turnu Severin Cathedral among them, with the Ruinele bisericii cu contraforturi entered on the same list.
What is the history of Schela Cladovei?
Schela Cladovei is dated to 1774. The city beside it goes back much further in name, since Drobeta was the Dacian and Roman town at the site, while Turnu Severin as a modern town is dated to 1833. The two names were later joined.
Mehedinţi County keeps both on its maps, and Schela Cladovei sits among the districts Drobeta-Turnu Severin carries, a Danube city within reach of the Iron Gates.
Where is Schela Cladovei?
Schela Cladovei belongs to Drobeta-Turnu Severin in Mehedinţi County, part of Oltenia, on the Danube close to the Iron Gates.
