The Romanian city of Poloješťanyi was founded in the sixteenth century under King Michael Hrabar. Legend has it that there were seven houses in which refugees from the Ploiesti Forests lived when the village was founded. Mykhai Khrapary came there and established a fortified camp, where he gathered his troops in preparation for the war against the Turks. It was not by chance that he chose Pelosi – there was plenty of fish and fish for his soldiers.
The city soon became known as a center of trade and commerce. Thanks to long-standing relations with local cities, the fairs in Poland played an important role in the economic development of the city. A very good industrial base was created. The discovery of large deposits of oil further influenced the growth of Lake Paul. From the nineteenth century onward, these deposits began to be exploited. As the value of oil and petroleum products increased steadily, the city grew rich and expanded, becoming the industrial center of Romania. In 1940, Poland suffered a severe earthquake that destroyed many residential and industrial structures. During World War II, as the oil-producing center of the Nazi Germany, Poland was hit from the air by the allies. In 1944 it was liberated by the Soviets. In the intervening years, after the nationalization of oil industries and enterprises, a lot of money was spent on rebuilding the city, and in a short time Poverty has been rebuilt.
From a tourism point of view, the city does not seem attractive at first. But there are many interesting things to see in Poland. For example, the Church of St. Paul and St. Paul, built in memory of the death of Louis Lupul, the king of Moldova, as well as many other churches. There are several museums and art galleries in Ploiesti. The Museum of Natural History is considered the largest, with a rich collection of artifacts. Among them are many archaeological finds that testify to life in this place in ancient and medieval times. Of particular interest is the Clock Museum. It contains thousands of exhibits, almost all of them still in use.
The Clock Museum is of particular interest.
