Following the desk and elds stdies, 20 scenic viewpoints sites were highlighted in order to illstrate some of the keyassets of the cross-border area. 14 sites were chosen in Romania, 14 in Blgaria and 2 proposals of mobile panoramic/scenicviewpoints (one on a boat and one on a caravan) were made according to the following criteria:

• They ensre the observation and the valorisation of different kinds of landscapes (rral, rban, historical site, natral site...)• They are able to provide a diversity of perceptions (a specic perception for a panoramic viewpoint, or a wide perceptionlinked to a road or a path)• There shold be a scenic viewpoint in each conty/district.• The scenic viewpoints ensre a adeqate valorisation of the cross-border area as a coherent whole (the vantage points nearthe Danbe or the panoramas that span across the border were prioritized)

The scenic/panoramic viewpoints selection that resulted can be organized into 4 categories:1-Panoramic viewpoint in a rral area (near a road, or at the top of a hill)2-Panoramic viewpoint in an rban area (monment, park...)3-Mobile panoramic point on water (boat)4-Mobile panoramic point on earth, like «bee-caravans»

READING THE LANDSCAPE

LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS & EVOLUTION

The Archar Waterfront is sitated in the northwestern part of Blgariaand is crossed by the road that passes along the Danbe’s riverbankand that links Lom in the East to Vidin in the North West. The principallandscape featre is a at and open land covered by allvial plains. In thepast, the waterfront was covered by marshes and wetlands but duringthe 20th centry, the area was drained in order to develop an intensiveagricltre. The largest settlement is the Archar village, which issitated at the conence of the Archar River with the Danbe at almost30 kilometres from Vidin. Archar village was known dring the RomanEmpire period as Colonia ulpia Ratiaria and was a permanent basis ofthe Roman eet. Dring the 2nd and 4th centry, the city developedand became a craft and trading center. Colonia ulpia Ratiaria reachedits zenith dring the reign of the emperor Arelian when it becameone of the main colony in the Moesia inferior province. Archaeologicalexcavations between 1981 and 1991 fond flly preserved walls, parts

RECOMMENDATIONS 1>Plan and implement strict measures concerning site conservationand protection of Colonia Ulpia Ratiaria site and support thecontinuation of archaeological diggings2>Invest in local infrastructure projects, especially regardingaccessibility, and small leisure facilities linked with the Danube.3> Promote local minority products and organic farming4>Create historical heritage events near the site in order to raiseawareness on its value.

of bildings and potter items (bowls, pipes) together with old Romancoins. The archaeological site and its surroundings has been plunderedseveral time dring the 90’s by treasre hnters.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FEATURESThe main economic activity in this area of approximately 4 000inhabitants is intensive and subsistence agriculture. Since the fall ofcommnism, the Archar village and its srrondings offer few economicopportunities to its local inhabitants and the population ageing trend iscontinuously increasing while depopulation can be noticed through thelandscape of abandoned houses when crossing villages. The populationis composed of 4 ethnic grops: the Blgarian, Trkish, Romani andKoritarska (Kopanar) grops. The Koristarska or cra dle-makers, as theywere primarily associated with the production of c radle, are an EasternOrthodox branch of the Romani people. De to their close proximitywith Romanian-speaking people since the 14th centry, they sallylost the knowledge of the Romani language and they currently speaka distinct archaic dialect of Romanian, with borrowings from Slavic and

Trkish langages. A major part of the Koristarka emigrated and thearea’s cultural diversity and traditions are slowly disappearing.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGEThe area incldes the Archar Natra 2000 site where over 30 protectedspecies live and nest. We can mention here the Aral asp, the ukrainianbrook, the Black Sea herring or the Tawny pipit. If layout works wouldhave been made, the other main attraction of this Landscape unitwold be the Colonia ulpia Ratiaria site that is considered by thearchaeologists as being the main Roman town in the area with a largemilitary encampment sitated on the hills that overlook the Danbe.This site spreads on a srface of more than 30 ha and archaeologicaldiggings are far to be completed but it seems that t he town hosted thelargest thermae (Roman bath) complex in the Balkans, an amphitheatreand a stadim. Since the mid 90’s, the diggings in the area are mainlymade by treasure hunters and the site is extremely damaged by thesedegradations.

THREATSFlooding is one of the main challenges in the atter and lower par ts ofthe area. Economic development opportunities are not appearing in anarea suffering from a low accessibility due to unmodernised transportinfrastructure and from a continuous depopulation. Treasure huntingstill continues and can permanently destroy this rich cultural heritage.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS & EVOLUTIONThe Ada Kaleh island was sitated in a strategic area well known for itsendless wars. This imaginary landscape unit was historically a strategicstake in Astrian-Trkish conicts. In 1718, the Astrians took over theisland and bilt a Vaban-type fortication: the New Orsova. After 20years the island was occpied again by the Ottoman army who gaveit the name of Ada Kaleh. It became a place of settlement for Trkishsoldiers and for a community that kept their traditions. Because of itsoriental characteristics, the island was considered until its disappearance

as a cltral landmark, a Trkish oasis oating on the Danbe nder theprotection of the athorities. Now, the island is niqe as it belongs tothe past bt remains deeply anchored in memories. Indeed, the AdaKaleh island no longer exist as it was sbmerged in 1970 in order tobild the Iron Gates I dam.The past island was made of very dynamic alluvial formations, constantlyndergoing a sedimentation process. The Mediterranean inenceallowed, in the past, the adaptation of some exotic species of plantsand animals.When the end came, everything was done to move Ada Kaleh piece bypiece to the nearby Simian island. Nevertheless local conditions coldnot be moved to the new island and if many of the remains of the AdaKaleh still exist and can be visited on the Simian island, its inhabitantsand its spirit are denitively gone.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FEATURESAt the beginning of the 20th centry, Ada Kaleh’s economy wasorishing becase of its special economic stats as a tax freezone. Jewels, tobacco and Trkish typical prodcts were sold to thenumerous visitors.Despite the rst efforts to give life to the project of the SimianIsland, it remained a pious vow especially because of the exile ofthe left inhabitants (less than a thosand then) who went to Trkeyor scattered in other areas of Romania sch as Dobrdja. The “newAda Kaleh “(Simian island) did not have longer to face destrction btrather a slow abandon.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGEAda Kaleh and its collective image is still present in people’s mind, itis seen or reminded as a very exotic destination. Ada Kaleh is indeedthe example of the western fascination for the Turkish culture, knownas orientalism. This artistic trend was very inential notably in the19th centry. It inspired among others the writer Mór Jókai or the

docmentary Last spring at Ada Kaleh. This intangible legacy goesalong with distinctive architectural sites which were relocated on theSimian island: the Mosqe whose famos carpet was given to theConstanta Mosqe, the Bazaar, the graveyard, parts of the fortress andthe hose of the governor “ the Mahmt’s Pasha”.

THREATSForgetting can be seen as the main threat. The heritage of AdaKaleh cold become a major asset for the area. The richness of thewhole area comes from its mltiple inences, its rich history and itscultural and ethnic melting pot, neglecting such a strong one is a wayto weaken all efforts leading to re-connect the area with its past as amajor crossroads of civilizations.

POINTS OF INTEREST1/ Former island Ada Kaleh 2/ Simian island

RECOMMENDATIONS 1>Creating a memorial near the location of Adah Kaleh2>To put up information signs on the route along the Danube thatlinks the former island with t he new museum on Simian island3>Encouraging contacts and initiatives with Turkish governmentand communities in Romania stressing a common past4>Organizing cultural events (music, dance, culinary) linked tothe traditions of Ada Kaleh5>Encouraging the creation of a new brand of local/oriental productsrelated to the secular history of the island and using food products(as fruits or spices) specic to the Mediterranean climate.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS & EVOLUTIONThis area was originally a small stream bet ween two hills. A garden wasthen designed, but it soon felt into decay and the land was sold to thepublic authorities that built this impressive historical garden between1901 and 1903 at the sggestion of the Craiova mayor Nicolae P.Romanesc. Designed by the French architect Edoard Redont whoseplans and sketches were presented and highly a ppreciated during theParis World Exhibition in 1900, the Romanesc Park was inagratedin the presence of Carol I, the King of Romania at that time. It spreadson 96 hectares and remains one of the largest natral parks in Eropentil now. Dring its layot, rare species of trees were especiallybroght in Romania and acclimatized, a sspended bridge wasdesigned to dominate the landscape and footbridges that imitate tree

bark were constructed. It also has an impressive alleyways and footpaths network of over 30 km, a 4 hectares lake and one of the oldestzoological garden in Romania that opened in 1906. Cltral activitiesused to be organised in the park’s open theatre but the suspendedbridge and the “Enchanted Castle” were and are s till considered as thepark landmarks sights. The Craiova hippodrome is also situated insidethe park. Popular during the interwar period, the hippodrome gallopand trot races became rare during the Communist period. Today, it ismainly sed to host track and eld competitions.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FEATURESThe park is situated in the south part of Craiova and is one of its maintoristic attractions. Moreover, it is one of the principal and traditionalleisure place for Craiova’s inhabitants. People come for recreation,sports, walking and jogging. Dring the weekdays sporting activitiesare prevalent, especially dring the evening. Dring weekends, localfamilies come to visit the zoological garden or to rent boats for a trip onthe lake. The parks houses restaurants with summertime terraces and

taking a picnic on the grass lawn has become popular during the lastfew years. Sport activities like national track and eld’s championshipsare organized on the grond of the old hippodrome. The park is stillnot sed enogh as a cltral place for organizing concert or open airexhibitions for example.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGEConceived and designed as a romantic park and appreciated bypainters and photographers, the Romanescu park offers to its visitorsseveral cultural and natural attractions such as its forest plantationsthat inclde over 250 species of trees and shrbs. Among the mostnoteworthy ornamental varieties, we can notice the Pinus excelsa wal

RECOMMENDATIONS 1>To preserve the park natural heritage and to renovate itaccording to its original design.2>To renovate the hippodrome and develop equestrian activitiesas the original trot and gallop races3>To build cycling tracks and implement a network of bicyclerent centres4>Promote the park and local tourism by organizing national andinternational cultural/musical/ tourism events5>To preserve and promote the park’s cultural heritage. Thesuspended bridge and the zoological garden for example needurgent rehabilitation works.

one of the favourite places of one of the most famous Romanian artistConstantin Brancusi, a pioneer of modernism, also well known as the«Patriarch of modern sclptre». Some of his masterpieces sch as«the kiss» and a historical re-enactment of his workshop can be seenin the Craiova Art msem.

THREATSAs a landscape masterpiece mainly covered by renewable andperishable materials such as trees and plants and a main touristic andleisure attraction, the park can suffer from the development of nonsustainable economic activities or from the uncontrolled building ofshops or catering activities.

The Girgi and Rse twin cities are linked throgh the “FriendshipBridge”, opened in 1954, and which, ntil 2013, was the only bridgeconnecting the two contries. De to the proximity of the Bcharestmetropolitan area and to the economic importance of the city of Ruse,the most developed city in the Bulgarian cross border region, this arearepresents a strategic point between the two countries with importanttrafc ows and also the main link between Romania and Trkey orGreece for example. The Girgi city is srronded by a t ypical low andat Danbe oodplain, while Rse is sit ated on a 70 meter high hill thatoffers a spectaclar view on the Danbe. The area was considered as astrategic place since Roman times when the Sexaginta Prista fortress,which is located on the current Ruse site, became the headquarters ofthe Roman lower Danbe navy and served as one of the main militarybase to conqer Dacia. After a decline period, the city expanded aga indring the Ottoman rle and after the Blgarian independence tobecome one of the main Bulgarian urban poles. The main landscapefeatre of the city is it s system of pblic spaces ,with irreglar sizes andshapes, along the main streets and that led to secondar y radial streets.

This urban structure mixed with the numerous Bulgarian renaissancestyle bildings create very interesting and diversied streets proles.The rban development of the city of Girgi starts in the second halfof the 18th centry nder the Ottoman Empire rle. The fortied townwas situated in the southern part of the modern city along the Plantcanal and inclded an Ottoman port in the shape of a Vaban fortress.

RECOMMENDATIONS 1>The development of a common landscape strategy betweenthe two cities following the example of the ERGO master planand including the Natural parks of Russenski Lom and of Comana.2>To urgently renovate the Giurgiu Ruse bridge and to make itscrossing free at least for the local inhabitants and companies.3>To create a common Tourism Destination Managementorganisation and a joint convention Bureau.


The city entered in a qick expansion process in the 19th centry anddobled its srface, between 1834 and 1922, by incorporating theSlobozia village and by extending its indstrial area. The commnistperiod brought a new town planning system with the building of socialhousing neighbourhoods.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FEATURESSituated at the crossroads of two European transport corridors, the twocities try to create a common cooperation framework in varios eldsin order to take benet of their strategic geographical positioning.They have created the Rse Girgi Eroregion and nished in 2013the ERGO master plan, a common development planning docment,in order to design and implement joint projects. Moreover, Rse hasintegrated Girgi in its proposal to become the Eropean Capital ofCltre in 2019. Both cities play a key role in the cross border economy,Girgi acting as Bcharest’s door on the Danbe since 1869 when onthe axis Bcharest-Girgi was inagrated the rst Romanian railwayin order to accelerate the transport of goods to and from the Danbe.

The main economic sectors in the area are shipbuilding, metallurgyand mechanical engineering, production of chemical products,production of textiles and other sewing products, food processingand production, and civil engineering. Logistic, technological andindustrial parks have been built during the last years on both riversidesbt their joint development is blocked by the fact that bridge crossingis charged. Rse and its 150 000 inhabitants is the main rban polein the Bulgarian cross border area and still attracts the regionalworkforce de to its indstr y. Girgi shared the common cross borderdecreasing demographic trend and suffers from the young workforceemigration to Bucharest or to foreign countries.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGERuse is one of the most beautiful city in the cross border area. Famousfor its well preserved 19th and early 20th centry Neo-Baroqe andNeo-Rococo architectre, which attract many torists, it was calledthe Little Vienna. The Monment of Liberty (the city’s symbol), theAleksandrovska Street, the Canetti and Trio hoses highlight thisarchitectural legacy while an older medieval air can be found in thesrrondings of the Holy Trinity Chrch, bilt in 1632. Rse is also the

main access hub to the Rusenski Lom natural park with its wide terracesthat overlooked the Rusenski Lom River valley and its protected birdspecies, such as the Egyptian eagle, the black stork or the shelducks.The Clock tower bilt dring the 18th centry by the Ottoman to watc hthe srrondings is Girgi’s main attraction and symbol. We can alsomention the rins of the Girgi Fortress, the Alei park or the Railwaystreet with its traditional houses.

THREATSPollution issues may appear, due to the industrial plants, especially thechemical and petrolem ones. Moreover, the Friendship bridge needto be rehabilitated urgently in order to avoid its closing.

The Predbalkan unit, or literally the front of the Balkans, is a transitionlandscape between the Danbe valley to its North and the BalkanMontains in its Soth. Here, the Danbe Valley smoothly encontersthe hills and ridges of the Balkans, without any pronounced border. Thearea’s landscape is composed of low and medium-high r idges, valleys,gorges, valleys, hills and swamps and its more impressive elementsare the numerous rock formations, gorges and caves that are sc atteredon its territory. The most known are the Emen canyon, the Hotnitsawaterfalls and the Msina precipice. The average altitde is arond300 metres and the Landscape unit is covered by forests composedmainly of oaks, maples and beeches. The main settlement in the areais Veliko Tarnovo, the historical capital of the Second Blgarian Empire.The medieval city is sitated pon three hills, Trapezitsa, Tsarevets andSveta Gora and therefore offers spectac lar panoramas.

takes a particlar straight shape that carved a spectaclar dele Sothof Veliko Tarnovo. The smaller neighboring settlements of Gabrovo,Elena and Arbanasi have become complementary rral torismdestinations that preserve and promote the area’s crafts and specicarchitectre. The Landscape unit will become the jnction pointbetween the ftre highway that will connect Soa to the Black Seacoast and the Eropean rote E85 that connects Trkey and EasternGreece to Central Erope.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FEATURESVeliko Tarnovo is one of the largest cities of the cross border areaand one of the few urban areas with a growing population duringthe last years. This university town has preserved a strong economicfabric, especially in the industrial sector. Textiles, soft drinks andfood processing with the largest Bulgarian sweet company arethe main light industries, while machinery, plastics and electronicsprodction sectors have developed recently. Veliko Tarnovo is oneof the main Bulgarian tourism and cultural centre and attracts yearlyapproximately half a million tourists. Tourism is also developing in theentire Landscape unit area and is become one of the main economicactivities along with agriculture, livestock farming and forestry, whichfeeds the smaller settlements’ celllose and bre plants.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGEListing the cltral heritage sites of this Landscape unit wold beendless. Dring the middle ages, Tarnovo the Great was the leadingpolitical, economic, cultural and religious centre in Bulgaria. Surroundedby its ochre ramparts, the Tsarevetz Citadel was the political center withthe Tsar’s palace and the residence of the Patriarch, the head of theBlgarian Orthodox Chrch. In the city srrondings, some of the mostfamos Blgarian monasteries sch as Patriarsheski, Preobrazhenski,Arbanashki, etc., can be visited as well as the archaeological reservationNikopolis Ad Istrm – a Roman and Early Byzantine town and thearchitectral reservation Arbanasi with its preserved architectralmonuments from the Bulgarian Revival period. The area is also well

known for its natural heritage promoted by its network of eco paths andits active tourism products such as rock climbing, mountain cycling orhorse riding.

Constanta is a city on the coast Black Sea coast in the south-east ofRomania. With a poplation of over 300,000 inhabitants, Constantais the second city in the country after Bucharest and its largest port.The city spreads over a srface of approximately 13 000 hectares at analtitde between 0.5 meters and almost 60 meters. Constanta is one ofthe oldest city in Romania. A Greek c olony named Tomis and sitated inthe current Constanta peninsula is mentioned in a document dating from657 BC. The town was conqered by the Romans in 71 BC and renameda few centuries later Constantiana in tribute to the sister of Constantinethe Great. Constanta declined dring the Ottoman rle, becoming asimple village inhabited by Greeks shermen and Tatar shepherds.The city gained in importance after its annexation to Romania at theend of the Rssian-Trkish war in 1878. Its economic development waslinked to the development of the port ac tivities and the building of therailway line Bcharest-Constanta and its f amos Anghel Saligny bridgeon the Danbe. The end of the 19th Centry is marked by expansion

y garchitectural style along the traditional neighbourhood of oriental styleone storey house. The expansion continued during the communistperiod with the construction of worker’s social housing and huge portand industrial facilities and still g oes on.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FEATURESThe Constanta port and its shipyard are the city’s main economicassets. Its activities are strongly linked to the current Romanianeconomic situation and therefore relies on the import of processedgoods and the export of raw materials or non processed agriculturalproducts. Energy trade is important as the city is closed to the mainRomanian renery of Petromidia. Other indstrial activities are alsolinked to the port economic activities. The constrction of a liqeedgas terminal is planned in order to transform Constanta in a CentralAsia-Erope energetic hb. The enhancement of Danbe navigabilityand the link to the Rhine river can create economic opportunities fora city that encounter problems to modernise its economic sector that

still relies on commnism legacy. Mamaia, the Constanta sea resort,remains until now the most popular seaside destination in Romaniaand has positioned itself as a «party» destination.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGEThe long history of the city can be seen through its rich culturalheritage. The Archaeology msem narrates Dobrdja’s past throghits collection of almost 430,000 artefacts. Most of the heritage hasbeen discovered during construction works and are often surroundedby residential areas. It is the case of the Roman mosaic fond in 1959 inOvid sqare, of Tomis archaeological park, of the Roman Therm (pblicbaths) or of the inner wall of the la ter Byzantine period settlement. Thesea front is dominated by the city Ca sino, the symbol of the city, datingfrom 1903 and srronded by water on three sides. Another worthvisiting area is the city peninsula one of the few neighbourhood thatkept and old vintage oriental avor. We can nd there most of thecity’s important architectral monments sch as the Grand Mosqeof Constanta and the Ovid sqare.


THREATSExpansion of residential areas and of commercial buildings such ashotels, supermarkets, shopping malls or banks built without respectingstrict urbanism rules change the overall look of older neighbourhoods.The beach erosion is a danger for the Mamaia resort ftre.

LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISTICS & EVOLUTIONBalchik is a small city on the North Blgarian Seaside, sitated in the

north-eastern part of the Blgarian Black Sea shore, 40 km from Varnaand 20 km from Kavarna. Balchik has a moderate continental climateand is a well-know resort for more than one century. The landscape ismainly characterised by white limestone steep banks slanting towardsrocky seashores withot natral sandy beaches. A shore lane starts atthe yacht torist port and nishes near the Albena resort where sandybeaches reappear. The city is divided between the old/historical districtin the lower part and more recent buildings on the above plateau.The landscape perspective is powerful while visiting the old town andgliding through the steep streets that bring you down to the seashore.Balchik has managed to preserve its authenticity developed underthe inence of many cltres throgh its rich history. Fonded bythe Thracian, it was sccessively rled by the Greeks, the Romans, theByzantines, the Ottomans and the Romanians. The Greeks established26 centries ago a trading post named Krnes that developed itself andchanged its name to Dionisiopolis. In the 4th centry BC, Dionisiopoliswas an important economical centre that was minting its own coins.

RECOMMENDATIONS 1>Better design and implementation of urbanism regulationswould enable the city to be more coherent architecturally and tohave a more elegant and rened image in order to attract highincome tourists.2>The cliffs could be used as potential belvedere places3>Development of less-seasonal tourism products such as ecot-ourism, wellness or cultural events tourism


The main economic activities are linked with the seasonal seasidetourism and the port activities. The city’s port is a multi-purposeone, handling also dry and liquid bulk. The principal activity of theport is based on handling bulk cargo, mainly grain coming from theDobrdja region, the largest grain prodcing and exporting regionsin Blgaria. Commercial shing and trade are also present bt arelacking modern infrastructures. The population is stable and iscomposed of a Bulgarians and of a strong Turkish minority. It must benoticed that it is one of the rare cities in the cross border area, which isnot confronted to a strong demographic decrease. Moreover, statisticdata show an increase of the population access to higher educationwhich is a sign of a sustainable local development. Indeed, Balchiktourism is less seasonal than the neighbouring resorts due to its richcultural heritage and is targeting the Romanian clientele, who has avery easy access to the city by the Romanian seaside road network.

CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGEBalchik is a genine «cross-border» place with strong Blgarian,Romanian and Trkish inences and is therefore considered as oneof the Black Sea cultural landmark by Romanian and Bulgarian tourists.The city’s main cultural heritage site is the Palace, the former summerresidence of the Romanian Qeen Maria, and its nearby botanicalgarden. Other notable sites are the old town and the ethnographicand historical museums.

THREATSThe most important threats for Balchik and its surroundings arelandslides. They go along with the pressure of uncontrolled buildingconstructions that may result into a chaotic aesthetic ensemble.

TU 100

The Romania-Bulgaria cross border area is scattered by a rich archaeologicalheritage mainly located along the Danbe River Basin which is a strategicaxis for people and goods since ancient times. This area offered favourableconditions for the development of agricltre and hosted important Neolithiccivilisation sch as the Gmelnita, Hamangia, Boian, Varna or Vinca cltresbetween 5 500 BC and 3 000 BC, then from 3,000 BC theses civilizations beganto decline. These populations practiced farming and herding and masteredadvanced ceramic techniqes. The Getae or Gets were Thracian tribes livingon both sides of the Danbe, in what is today the Romania Blgaria crossborder area. They developed, since the 7th centry BC, strong economic andpolitic contacts with the hinterland of Greek colonies sitated in the Dobrdjaregion, especially on the Black Sea Coast. The Getae civilisation orished in

the 300 centry BC and is mainly visible throgh fortress remains, nmeros«tmli» (mond of earth and stones raised over a grave) and wonderfllypositioned «tells». The Roman empire conqered the Getae dring the secondpart of the First centry BC, approximately between 30 BC and 16 BC, andcreated a network of castrm and settlements along the Danbe in what wasthen called Moesia inferior, a province that covered Northern Blgaria andRomanian Dobrdja. These castrm served as a basis for the conqest of Daciathat nished in 106 AD. Then, the Byzantine empire bild new settlements orused previous Roman ones during its ruling period.

RECOMMENDATIONS 1>Protect the archaeological site in the urban planning documents and fromthe treasure hunters2>Support archaeological diggings on existing and new heritage sites3>Renovate the heritage sites and create interpretation facilities or smallmuseums around the main sights.4>Enhance the accessibility to the heritage sites.5>Create joint strategy for the promotion of the cultural heritage at a crossborder scale with the development of common thematic routes.6>Increasing value of the archaeological landscape by creating speciclandscape management plans for the heritage sites.
