Romanians celebrate, on January 24, Unification Day, this year marking 161 years since the Romanian Principalities united in a single national state, under the rule of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza, initiator of reforms that set the basis of modern Romania.

Major events took place in Bucharest and almost all major cities - military ceremonies, flower wreaths, and people danced the traditional circle dance named “Hora of Unity”.

Most of the ceremonies in Bucharest took place on the Patriarchal Hill, the place where, in 1859, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected as Ruler.

President Klaus Iohannis and Prime Minister Ludovic Orban attended the public celebration in the Unirii Square in Iași, alongside other officials.

January 24 is a legal day off in Romania.
