FLOCI TOWN
Oraşul de Floci, also Cetatea de Floci or Târgul de Floci is a lost city of Wallachia, now in Romania.
The city was located at the confluence of Ialomiţa River and the Danube, on the old riverbed of the Ialomiţa. The name meant "The Wool City" in Romanian, as it was an important market town. The city is first mentioned in 1431 during the rule of Dan II of Wallachia, but probably existed as trading post in the previous century.
It was set on fire by Stephen III of Moldavia during the wars with Wallachia under the rule of Radu cel Frumos (who was an ally of the Ottoman Empire). The city recovered quickly, but it was once again destroyed by the Polish and Tatar troops of Simion Movilă.
The city finally decayed due to the Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774, when most inhabitants fled due to the fighting. In the place of the city was formed the village Piua-Petrii, which was destroyed, in turn, during the floods of early 20th century. Currently, the ruins of the city are located in the territory of the Giurgeni commune.

- ROMANIA: Small Island of Brăila (within Balta Mică a Brăilei Nature Park) - administrative territory of Stăncuța - a commune located in Brăila County
Metsoja moved to the north in the area of the Balta Mică a Brăilei Natural Park. The newest localisation is in the area of the Small Island of Brăila - one of the 7 Islands (romanian Insula): 1/ Insula Vărsătura, 2/ Insula Mică a Brăilei (Small Island of Brăila), 3/ Insula Crăcănel (Trăsura sau Chiciu), 4/ Insula (Chiciul) Orbului, 5/ Insula Lupului (Calia sau Caleia), 6/ Insula Fundu Mare, 7/ Insula (H)Arapu.
The Park is located in the South – East of Romania and occupies a segment of 62 km of the Lower Danube, between the Giurgeni-Vadu Oii road bridge (km 237, on the Danube, upstream) and the municipality of Brăila (km 175 downstream).
It is a Wetland of International Importance (declared in June 2001) and since 2008 has received the status of Natura 2000 Site both as a Site of Community Importance and as a Special Area of Avifauna Protection.
