Adjud

Adjud lies near the meeting of the Trotuș and Siret rivers in southern Moldavia. The settlement was already under Moldavian rule in 1433, at a point where the Trotuș valley opens towards the larger Siret plain. Its river setting placed it close to the routes between the Carpathian uplands and the lower country. The older settlement of Adjud and its successor grew in a landscape shaped by these converging waters.
