Turnu Severin
A city on the Danube River in southwestern Romania, near the border with Yugoslavia. Population 118,000 (1994). Capital of Mehedinci County. Its official name is Drobeta-Turnu Severin, derived from its ancient Roman name Drobeta. The area where the Danube crosses the Western Carpathians is called the Iron Gate, and the river used to flow rapidly through a gorge. In 1971, the Iron Gate Dam, the largest on the Danube, was built in cooperation with Yugoslavia, and the Iron Gate Lake was completed.
