The city of Buzău in celebration, 590 years from its first documentary attestation - the arhaic habitation evolved as a settlement, fairground, city and municipality

Abstract

"On January 31, 2021, the municipality of Buzău celebrated 590 years since the first definite documentary attestation, however, as an ancient human habitation, Buzău is archaeologically attested since the Neolithic, the archaic habitation evolving as a settlement, fairground, town and municipality. There are four main pillars that characterized the life of the people here: the constancy of living, also proven by the practice of agriculture; the foundation of the Orthodox faith; the fight for the defense of the lands inherited from the ancestors for centuries; and the economic valorization of the strategic location at the intersection of the roads connecting the four Romanian provinces. The document issued by the ruler Dan II on January 31, 1431 is, for now, the first known documentary attestation of Buzău, at that time with the status of a fairground."
