Location The city , known as the city with the most sunny days in Romania, is located at 83 km north of Bucharest, on Prahova's Valley. We are living here from 1998 and it was in that period a good ideea to move here from Ploiesti. The area is less affected by the polution and the crazzy real life is not yet installed here. |
Attractions Despite of the size, you can still find in Campina a lot of attractions. I will try to list down here as many as possible and I hope to find enough time for developing the page in the near future. ·Hasdeu Castle ·Hernea's Chapel ·The house of Nicolae Grigorescu (the best Romanian painter) ·The House with Gryphons ·Grigorescu High School ·The House with the Clock ·Catholic Church ·The Fir Trees Church ·The Lake’s Church ·Doftana Prison ·Brebu’s Architectural Complex I have to mention here the surroundings which are attracting every week-end hundreds of people looking for fresh air and cold rivers: Paltinu Lake, Fantana cu Ciresi (The Fountain of Cherry Trees), Doftana’s Valley, The salty lake in Telega, The Black Valley. |
The role in the Romanian Industry Even if the city is a small one, it is having deep roots into the Romanian history, the importance of the city growing of course after the development of the Oil Industry.
The refinery Steaua Romana (Romanian Star) was starting to produce in 1897, being considered in those years the most modern refinery in Europe, having the capacity to distillate 30000 tones per year. It was for more than a century the main industrial and social objective in Cimpina.
In 1904 has been opened for the first time in Europe a school for professionals in Oil Industry.
In present, the refinery is still producing at a small capacity and completely lost under the shadows of the past.
All the other industries in the city were growing around the Society Steaua Romana as suppliers and associates.
The city is still having a role in the weaken Romanian industry. |

Thanks for visiting my Texel page. I just love the quietness of that place; in the high season the island is more or less overcrowded. Is your hometown close to the Carpathian Mountains ?? | loisl Fri Feb 29, 2008 20:59 UTC
