Lake Zaghen is known among the people of Tulcea as a mini-delta or micro-delta. It is a place created artificially to shelter rare species and to practice slow tourism, especially oriented towards bird-watching. Unfortunately, the project did not reach its goal and is far from what it could be. Being right at the exit of the city towards Mahmudia-Murighiol and benefiting from the proximity of the Fisherman's Village, this area could be resuscitated and transformed into an ecotourism development pole.

This is the central square of the Tulcea Municipality, also known among the locals as the Civic Square.
The monument to Mircea the Elder was originally erected in the years 1900-1902 on the place known until 1947 as Mircea Square (today the roundabout at the Delta Hotel). The monument had a 5 m plinth, made of granite blocks. The statue, 4 m high, represented the ruler in armor, with a mantle on his shoulder, with a princely crown on his head, with a sword in his left hand and a mace in his right hand. At the base of the plinth were placed two lions holding under their paws trophies obtained by the ruler in the battles with the enemy. In front of the monument was placed a bronze plate on which was engraved the title of the ruler "Io Mircea Mare Voivode and Lord of both parts over the entire Danube to the Great Sea and the fortress of the ruling Darstor".
Destroyed by the occupation troops in 1916-1918, only the plinth remained from the monument, which is still preserved today in the T.A.V.S. park. from Peace Street. Despite all the efforts of some initiative committees established in the interwar period, the monument was never restored. In 1940, the statue of King Ferdinand I, brought from Ismail, was briefly placed on the plinth of the monument.
The current equestrian statue of Mircea the Elder in the city center is the work of the sculptor Ion Jalea and was unveiled on December 1, 1972. On the frontispiece of the pedestal, on a marble slab, is written "Mircea the Elder. Lord of the Romanian Land 1386 – 1418". An initiative of the "Galeriile Acum" Foundation in 2002 to restore the monument from 1902 ended, unfortunately, with a monument that did not respect its proportions or all its elements.
Also in the Civic Square you will be able to admire a beautiful artesian fountain, designed from mosaic with elements and details that speak of the fauna and flora specific to the delta. Also, another impressive mosaic can be admired on the Belvedere Block. It is a very colorful work made by the plastic artist Spiru Chintilă in 1978, presenting in a socialist style the socio-economic development of the city after the Second World War.
RECOMMENDATION: In this square, in addition to the wide open space, there are numerous benches for relaxation and rest, a playground, but also the already famous pigeons fed by everyone. Therefore, it is a place not to be missed for families with children.
GOOD TO KNOW: Most events are organized in the Civic Square, especially in the season: festivals, fairs, shows, contests, etc. The easiest way is to follow the calendar of events in the app to keep up to date with it all.

Societatea Agropiețe S.A. Tulcea a implementat în 2023 un Sistem Digital în piețele din municipiu, având ca scop principal crearea unei comunicări eficiente și transparente pe relația producător – consumator – administrator al piețelor. Harta digitală pentru Piața Nouă a fost prezentată azi printr-un eveniment public de Rodica Pascale, directorul Agropiețe SA Tulcea și de viceprimarul George Șinghi, însă această hartă digitală, așa cum îi spune și numele, poate fi găsită AICI.
Potrivit conducerii societății, în prima etapă a digitalizării, încă de anul trecut, cu introducerea în platforma digitală pe de o parte a tonetelor care au fost personalizate cu cod QR, după care a urmat introducerea în baza de date a producătorilor agricoli și a comercianților. O muncă laborioasă, mai ales că Piața Nouă din Tulcea este a doua piață agro-alimentară din țară care implementează acest sistem cu identificare a vânzătorilor (producători sau comercianți) prin cod QR, însă prima din România cu trasabilitatea produselor: toate datele privind produsele de pe tonetă inclusiv cu fotografii de la terenul de pe care au fost recoltate.
”Orice comerciant care dorește să închirieze o tonetă sau un spațiu în piață, poate vedea pe un monitor care structură este disponibilă și care este ocupată, precum și modalitatea de închiriere (cu contract sau în regim forfetar). Prin implementarea acestui sistem, pe lângă transparentizarea activității, se asigură și un control managerial mai eficient asupra modului de încasare de către personalul propriu, a gestionării tarifelor de închiriere pentru structurile de vânzare existente.” – spune Rodica Pascale, directorul Agropiețe SA Tulcea.
