Where the name comes from
A place or district
Dristorului Street, named after 1913 in honour of the town of Silistra (Dârstor).
The district takes its name from Dristorului Street, whose name, given after 1913, is usually linked to Silistra, called Dârstor in old Romanian, a town that became Romanian with Southern Dobruja and is now in Bulgaria. Another explanation, linking the name to fullers called 'dârstari', has no historical evidence.
Worth knowing
- Dristor 2 is the M1 terminus; Dristor 1 is shared by M1 and M3.
- The opening of Dristor 2 in 1989 closed the metro ring round the centre.
