From the 18th century onwards, it was inhabited by a stable Turkish population, and after World War One it belonged to Romania. Due to its particular climate, which allowed oriental vegetation, and to the specifics of the Turkish community, the island became a famous travel destination. It was destroyed in the end of the 1960s in order to build the Iron Gate power plant, which caused the extinction of the local community through the migration of all individuals to different parts of Romania and Turkey. Today, the island has become a cultural stereotype. This research aims to study the particular case of the disappearance of a socio-cultural
community and to find out what constitutes the island’s image from the insiders’ point of view. The study is part of an emergency ethnology, due to the advanced age of the former inhabitants of Ada-Kaleh. In our approach, we will try to find out which are the island’s attributes in the contemporary imaginary
and how the memories of it’s existence are updated, starting with a case study of a former inhabitant.
