History
In 514, this city was known under the Celtic name Novodunum - "New City". It was located in a strategically important place - on one of the main roads across the Danube. Under the rule of the Romans, the city developed, thanks to the fleet on the Danube. According to the coins found during excavations in the 7th - 10th centuries, it is possible to judge that the city was an important base of the Byzantine fleet .
For a long time, Isakcha was a Turkish fortress that served as a base for operations on the Lower Danube and against Bessarabia . In 1771, Russian General Weisman , having crossed the Danube with his detachment, broke into Isacchu and burned the warehouses of the Turkish troops; in the same year, October 24, he again approached the fortress, the garrison of which, seeing the approach of the Russian troops, abandoned its fortifications and left. After that, Isakcha was destroyed, but then again turned by the Turks to a fortified warehouse point. In the war of 1787-1791 under Isaccea, a collision of the Russian flotilla under Ribas with the Turkish followed, ending with the capture of the latter. The Turkish defenders of Isakchi fled, and its fortifications were again razed. Some time later, Turkish troops again occupied Isakchu, but in March 1791 they were driven out from there by a detachment of Lieutenant General Prince Golitsyn [3] .
In the war of 1828, Isaccea, again converted by the Turks to the fortress, surrendered without resistance after crossing the Russian army across the Danube. In the Eastern War of 1853-1856, the courts of the Russian Danube flotilla, rising to Galati , had to pass by Isakchi and withstand its fire. On March 12, 1854 , after the crossing of Lieutenant-General Ushakov’s detachment at Tulci , the Turks left Isakcha, who was occupied by Russian Cossacks on the same day; but after the retreat of General Ushakov to the left bank of the Danube, Isakcha again passed into the power of the enemy. In the war of 1877-1878, after the crossing of the 14th Army Corps, Galati Isaccea was occupied on 14 June by a detachment of Major General Yanov, without a fight [3] .
