564 years since the first record: Ungheni prepares its Municipality Days and a new twinning, with Tulcea
The City Hall has announced the programme of Ungheni's Municipality Days, running from 20 to 31 August. The celebration opens on 20 August for a precise reason: on that day, in 1462, the settlement is mentioned for the first time in a document — 564 years ago. The programme brings together the launch of a local-history yearbook, a folklore festival, concerts by performers with Ungheni roots and, on 27 August, the signing of a new twinning agreement, with the municipality of Tulcea in Romania. A guide to the twelve days and to the history behind them.
