Dobruja Day is observed in Romania on November 14 to commemorate the incorporation of Northern Dobruja into the Kingdom of Romania in 1878. This historical region, located in the north of the Balkan Peninsula, is significant due to its strategic position, including the Danube Delta. The day was officially established by the Romanian Parliament in 2015 and is marked with various cultural and educational events. Although it is an official observance, it is not a public holiday, meaning people do not receive a paid day off work. Northern Dobruja, which is now part of Romania, includes the counties of Tulcea and Constanța, with notable cities such as Constanța and Tulcea. The region has a rich history, having been controlled by various empires, including the Roman and Ottoman Empires, before becoming part of Romania.
