The city has become a favorite theme for research from the perspective of literary imagology. It is generally attributed a set of characteristics traditionally associated with the country it belongs to. The city is often presented as a concentrated microcosm of its nation. Looking at the city of Cahul, we can highlight a series of imagotypical texts that highlight both a positive and a less positive image of this “city on Frumoasa”. In this context, travel diaries, sketches, poems, letters, etc. are included. Although it was a newer city than the others, Cahul enjoyed special attention right from its foundation. The territory served as an interest for visiting and discovery, delegates, deputies, soldiers came here. The positive images about Cahul as “Ioan Vodă’s city”, “my town”, “the capital of my childhood/ youth”, with acacia in bloom, “quiet city”, a city where one reads perhaps more than in other parts and many others essentially contribute to the romanian and general cultural heritage.
