IRON GATE MUSEUM

Right next to the Roman ruins, this museum exhibits various collections. The historical collection provides details about the city in Roman times, while the ethnographic section gives an insight into the folklore and peasant interiors of the department of Mehedinţi, of which the city is the capital. The scientific collection provides an insight into the specific flora and fauna of the Danube, especially the birds. Opposite the museum stands a statue of the architect Apollodore of Damascus, who built the Roman bridge.
