Zicleni is a city in Trgoviste County in southern Romania, located on the banks of the Denbovica River, about 80 kilometers from the capital city of Bucharest. As an important industrial and cultural center of Dembovica County, the city is known for its oil equipment manufacturing, mechanical industry and traditional wine making.
Ziklani, first mentioned in historical documents in the 15th century, was once a strategic fortress of the Principality of Wallachia. The old town retains Ottoman architecture, including the Church of St. Nicholas, while the Monastery of Cicleni is an important heritage of Romanian Orthodox culture. The annual wine festival in the fall attracts many visitors to experience the local winemaking tradition.
The city is surrounded by petroleum resources and has a well-established petrochemical industry. Thanks to the mild continental climate and the fertile soil of the southern foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, the surrounding agricultural area produces grapes, corn and other crops. The water resources provided by the Denbovica River support the needs of irrigated agriculture and industry.
Visitors can visit the Ziklani wine cellar to taste the local specialty Pinot Noir, and the Denbovica Riverbank Trail is suitable for hiking tours. The Monastery of Hurezi, 15 kilometers from the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and its Byzantine frescoes are of great artistic value.
