ROMANIA: The beautiful MONUMENTS of BUCHAREST'S BELLU CEMETERY ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit Bellu Cemetery which is the largest cemetery in Bucharest and one of the best known in all of Romania. It is spread over a large area of land near Tineretului Park and was founded on the site donated to the city by Barbu Bellu in 1853, hence its name. Bellu Cemetery is a museum of monuments of the 19th-century Romanian mortuary architecture and it’s worth a visit if you happen to spend some time in Bucharest. Especially if you like spooky places and stories from the past, then this is the right place for a short visit. The cemetery is full of monuments that are meant to tell the stories of those who found their final resting place here. From tragic love stories to monuments dedicated to some of the most important Romanian writers and artists, if you take the time, you can learn something new with each step you take.
Romania is a southeastern European country known for the forested region of Transylvania, ringed by the Carpathian Mountains. Its preserved medieval towns include Sighişoara, and there are many fortified churches and castles, notably clifftop Bran Castle, long associated with the Dracula legend. Bucharest, the country’s capital, is the site of the gigantic, Communist-era Palatul Parlamentului government building.

Cimitirul Maritim din Sulina - The Maritime Cemetery Of Sulina (Romania)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
Cimitirul Maritim (nume folosit prima dată în 1889 de către scriitorul Jean Bart), cunoscut și sub numele de Cimitirul Cosmopolit, sau Multiconfesional, sau Multietnic a fost înființat în 1864 de Comisia Europeană a Dunării (C.E.D.) cu scopul de a asigura eternitatea salariaților săi morți pe malurile Dunării. Comisia Europeană a Dunării este organizația multinațională, extrateritorială, care pe timpul cât a funcționat la Sulina (1856-1921) a transformat satul de pescari într-un înfloritor oraș cu statut de port liber (Porto Franco). În perioada sa de glorie de la începutul secolului XX, Sulina avea mai mulți locuitori decât în prezent, aparținând la 27 de naționalități, dintre care până la Primul Război Mondial au predominat grecii, după care românii. Chiar dacă primele morminte au fost cele ale unor defuncți protestanți sau catolici (funcționari C.E.D., marinari etc.), cimitirul s-a extins repede fiind divizat în patru sectoare: catolic-protestant, musulman, evreiesc, ortodox de rit vechi (lipovenesc; a nu se confunda ritul vechi cu stilul vechi) și ortodox. Cu timpul, cele două cimitire ortodoxe au devenit cele mai mari, fiind active și în prezent. Cimitirul Maritim de la Sulina, numit și Cimitirul Viu, intră în categoria cimitirelor culturale ale României alături de Cimitirul Vesel de la Săpânța și Cimitirul Bellu din București, un Père Lachaise românesc. Acest lucru se datorează poveștilor spuse de morminte, în special de cele catolice-protestante și multe din cele ortodoxe (de rit nou). Astfel, epitafurile monumentelor funerare, multe redate în subtitrare, condensează tragedia vieții umane, de la marinari (unii foarte tineri), prințese și îndrăgostiți înecați în Dunăre, la nenorociri familiale, la personalul tehnic și funcționari ai C.E.D. și de ce nu, chiar la povești cu pirați.
The Maritime Cemetery was founded in 1864 by the European Commission of the Danube (C.E.D.) to ensure the eternity of its employees dead on the banks of the Danube. The European Commission of the Danube is the multinational, extraterritorial organization that, during its operation in Sulina (1856-1921), turned the fishing village into a flourishing city free-port (Porto Franco). In its glory period at the beginning of the 20th century, Sulina had more inhabitants than today, belonging to 21 nationalities, of which until the First World War dominated the Greeks, after which the Romanians. Even though the first graves were those of Protestant or Catholic deceasedes (C.E.D. officials, sailors, etc.), the cemetery expanded rapidly, being divided into four sectors: Catholic-Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, Old-Orthodox rite (Lipovan) and Orthodox. Over time, the two Orthodox cemeteries have become the largest, and are still active today. The Sulina Maritime Cemetery, also known as the Living Cemetery, falls into the category of cultural cemetiries, together with the Merry Cemetery (in Sapanta) and the Bellu Cemetery (in Bucharest), being one authentic Romanian Père Lachaise. This is due to stories told by graves, especially Catholic-Protestant ones and many of the Orthodox (new rite). Thus, the epitaphs of funeral monuments, many of them reproduced in subtitles, condense the tragedy of human life, from sailors (some very young), princesses and lovers drowned in the Danube, to family misfortunes, to technical staff and officials of C.E.D. and why not, even to pirates stories.

Bucuresti (Romania) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Bucuresti in Romania.
The capital of Romania, Bucharest, the Paris of the East. Founded by Prince Dracula and transformed from a dictatorship into a fine metropolis. In between embellished Classical and Baroque facades, as well as playful Art Nouveau, are many splendid historic buildings. In Bucharest’s Old Town are the ruins of the Old Royal Court in which Vlad Tepes resided. In 1456, Vlad The Impaler, also known as Dracula, came to power as Prince Of The Walachei. On the other side of the Dâmboviţa River is Romania’s last dictator’s impressive and once-fearsome building, the Palace Of Parliament. Close by is the National Opera House which was founded in 1998 and created as a multi-functional complex. The Templul Coral is the largest and most beautiful synagogue in Bucharest where more than a hundred thousand Jews once lived. The Jewish Cemetery is now a sad sight as it has become overgrown and neglected. The large cemetery in the south of the city is an impressive symbol of death and a work of emotion and nostalgia. Monumental mausoleums, artistic wooden crosses and touching sculptures decorate the final resting place of prominent personages. The historic Orthodox Cemetery is the national pantheon that Baron Bellu had designed in the mid-nineteenth century. Bellu, who also became Romania’s Minister Of Culture And Justice, donated his garden in which the foundation of the cemetery was laid in November, 1852. Situated at the intersection of East and West, Bucharest is a pulsating city, a cosmopolitan metropolis with abundant art and culture, churches, museums and palaces: the pride of the nation’s honour regained!

Family of British WWII hero visits grave in Romania
(26 May 2019) The family of a British World War Two pilot, who ditched his stricken plane into a Romanian lake to avoid a village, has visited his grave and memorial.
Seventy-five years after Stanley Clarke saved the village of Comana, his family visited his grave at the Tancabesti British Cemetery on Saturday and then his memorial on Lake Comana on Sunday.
On the evening of May 6, 1944, a group of Wellington bombers from 150 RAF Squadron took off from Foggia airfield in Italy on a mission to bomb Romanian oilfields and refineries.
The primary target of Allied operations was Ploiesti - the main site of Romania's oil industry.
The largest refinery there processed 2,000,000 short tons (1,800,000 t) of petroleum per year, providing much of the fuel for the German military.
Until August 1944, Romania was a German ally in the Second World War.
The first German anti-aircraft line of defence was positioned in the village of Comana, 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of the capital Bucharest.
During the night, Clarke's Wellington bomber was hit, but he managed to avoid the village and crashed his plane into the nearby lake.
His actions have been praised through the generations and a memorial was placed on the lake.
Following the crash, the villagers recovered the bodies of the crew and, despite tough German rules, buried them in the local cemetery according to orthodox religious traditions.
Later in 1946, the bodies were moved to the British Heroes' Cemetery in Tancabesti, 40 kilometres (25 miles) north of Bucharest, where Clarke's family laid wreathes of poppies in his memory.

Tour of the Monumentale Cemetery | Italia Slow Tour
The Monumentale Cemetery is probably Milan's most important location. Above the central entrance we see the statue of Gloria, that welcomes the illustrious names of our country's past. The Cemetery itself, it is virtually an open-air park museum: the tombs and the burial chapels are constructed in different styles and built in different ways, that could tell the history of the city of Milan!
