The ruins of Orașul de Floci, a lost city of Wallachia, are located near Giurgeni, at the confluence of the Ialomița River and the Danube, on the old riverbed of the Ialomița. According to contemporaneous accounts, Michael the Brave, the famous Voivode of Wallachia, was born in this town; his birthplace is reportedly the top touristic destination in Ialomița County.[2]
