Overview
Overview
It was during this period that the European Commission of the Danube was established and foreign consulates began to appear in Tulcea. The palace was partially built, together with the Azizyie Mosque, with funds given by Dobrujan Circassian raiders to the Ottoman authorities. This group had settled in Northern Dobruja in 1864 following the Circassian genocide and was expelled after the Ottoman defeat in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878. Following this war and Romania's absorption of Northern Dobruja, the building retained its administrative function until 1970, hosting the prefecture, courthouse, prosecutor's office and, between 1950 and 1970 under the Communist regime, the raion and later county councils. It underwent a full restoration in 1893-1895, a partial one in 1941 following the 1940 Vrancea earthquake, and yet another one from 2009 to 2012. The art museum opened in 1982. The building is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
It is associated with Romania. The record gives 1982 as its date of establishment or first appearance.
