The city of Măcin is located at the confluence of the morphological units of the Danube River with the Măcin Mountains, at an average altitude of 40 m, in the vicinity of the Old Danube to the west and the Măcin Mountains (Culmea Pricopanului) to the east and northeast. The relief of the city of Măcin consists of three main forms of relief: the Măcin Mountains, the marginal plain and the Danube Meadow.
According to historical sources, the possible location of "Vicina" was in Măcin, where the first metropolitan of Wallachia (1359), Iachint de Vicina, came from. Some historians, such as Nicolae Iorga and Gheorghe I. Brătianu, affirm this toponymic hypothesis. With the conquest of Dobrogea by the Ottoman Empire, Măcin became the headquarters of an Ottoman garrison, a collection and transit center for products intended to supply Constantinople.
