Orașul de Floci

Local nameAșezarea Medievala Orașul de Floci
LocationIalomița, Romania

Orașul de Floci, also Cetatea de Floci or Târgul de Floci, is a lost city of Wallachia, now in Romania. Floci, in this context, means "wool"; the name refers to the local sheep and wool market. It is also a Romanian slang word for "pubic hair".

The city was located at the confluence of Ialomița River and the Danube, on the old riverbed of the Ialomița. The name meant "The Fleece City" in Romanian, as it was an important market town. The city is first mentioned in 1431 during the rule of Dan II of Wallachia, but probably existed as trading post in the previous century.
