When you go to Sulina, the first sight of the city is the tall, orange water tower that stands on the right side of the Danube. Its distinctive appearance make it one of the city’s best recognized monuments.

[adsense]The exact date when it was built is not yet known, but it is in perfect condition today and is doing a fantastic job at supplying Sulina with fresh water. And I must say that I never tasted a better water than here.
