Architectureof Drobeta Turnu Severin • Due to the fact that there are not many buildings which were built in the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, the mayors and councils of the city have had great consideration for keeping them in their original state. That is the explanation for the existence of neoclassical buildings along the former main avenue, Trajan Street and around the Central Park. Calea Traian Bulevardul Carol
Around the main streets, there are many houses which were built for the aristocratic population of the old city, so it appeals tourists for its picturesque and historical value. Strada I.C. Bibicescu Strada Ştefan Odobleja

“Traian” National College • The idea of a high school for TurnuSeverin appeared in 1864, when the Romanian state implemented an education reform; at the time, local students had to go to Craiova or elsewhere for high school. A normal school opened in 1877; it was named after the Roman emperor Trajan due to his association with the local Trajan's Bridge. The first years were difficult: the school was located in several rented buildings and in the old town hall; there were a maximum of four teachers for nearly 80 students.
“Theodor Costescu” Culture Palace It is a representative building for the architecture from the beginning of the 20th century. The Culture Palace building is an eclectic building from the end of the 20th century
Seeing that the existence of the young national cultural institution is jeopardized, the benefactor made one more sacrifice: he sold a part of his land in Vanjulet, a small village near Drobeta. Old and sick, he realized that his dream was crumbling so Theodor Costescu sold his mansion under the market price and he continued his living in a small room inside the theatre, humiliated and forgotten by his contemporaries. Finally, he ended up in a sanatorium in Bucharest where he died on the 25th of March 1939. The sole appreciation he got during his lifetime was, without any doubt his being chosen as Member of Honor in the Romanian Academy.
