o Modern Galaţi - general information
The name of the city appears to have derived from Turkish galat, which was borrowed from Arabic qal'at (fortress). There have been other suggested, such as Serbian galac.
The first mention of the city dates from 1445. In 1789, during the Russo-Turkish War, Galaţi was burnt down by the forces of Russian general Mikhail Kamensky. [Wikipedia]
