GIURGEWO, a city of the Turkish province of Nicopoli.
It stands on the northern bank of the Danube, and in the
principality of Wallachia, but the garrison is Turkish. It
has a strong fortress, and the city itself is fortified. The
inhabitants amount to 7000, Greeks, Armenians, and Wal-
lachians, with very few Turks, excepting the military, who
chiefly reside within the fortress of Turn, which com-
mands the city. Lat. 43. 52. 45. N.
