History

Old townhall (built 1886–87)

The site of a medieval village, called Lichirești from the time of Michael the Brave.[dubious ] Călărași appeared for the first time in 1700 on a map drawn by Constantin Cantacuzino. It got its name after it was made by the Wallachian princes, in the 17th century, a station of "mounted couriers' service" on the route from Bucharest to Constantinople. The service was operated by horseback riders (the călărași). It expanded into a small town, and in 1834 became the surrounding county's capital.

Transportation

Călărași is connected by National Roads DN3, DN21, DN31, and DN3B.

The city lies on the seventh pan-European corridor of transport (the Danube river) and is next to the fourth pan-European transport corridor (DresdenConstanța) at 26 km (16 mi). The Călărași train station serves the CFR Line 802. The nearest major cities are: Bucharest 120 km (75 mi), Constanța 148 km (92 mi), and Varna 155 km (96 mi).
