Slobozia

Slobozia (Romanian pronunciation: [sloboˈzi.a]) is the capital city of Ialomița County, Muntenia, Romania, with a population of 41,550 in 2021.

As it is located in the middle of flat land (Bărăgan Plain), it was very vulnerable to Tatar and Ottoman incursions.

In 1990 the Cultural Centre was inaugurated, bearing the name of the conductor and composer Ionel Perlea, a city native.

The main tourist attraction consists of the nearby Lake Amara, situated 5 km (3.1 mi) away.

As part of a private tourist complex, there is a small copy of the Eiffel Tower 54 m (177 ft) high.
