Caracal is a city in Olt County, Romania, situated in the historic region of Oltenia, on the plains between the lower reaches of the Jiu and Olt rivers. The region’s plains are well known for their agricultural specialty in cultivating grains and over the centuries, Caracal has been the trading center for the region’s agricultural output. Caracal has a population of approximately 34,000 and is the second largest city in the region.
It is possible that the city’s name is derived from the Cuman language and that it means “Black fortress” (kara, meaning “black”, and kal, either from the Arabic qal’at or the Turkish kale, both meaning fortress). Other possibilities for the name include the wild cat caracal (its original Turkish name, karakulak, means “black ear”). Another theory links the origin to Roman Emperor Caracalla, who supposedly established a fortress in the area.
