Constanța is the story that embraces the sea
The oldest documented city in Romania invites you to discover its historical and cultural heritage. A vibrant destination, constantly evolving, that today harmoniously blends a modern, dynamic, and multicultural urban lifestyle with authentic architectural elements that bear playful, ancient, of an almost mystical beauty—the Art Nouveau Casino, the Roman Mosaic Building, the Carol I Mosque, or Ovidiu Square are just a few of them.
CONSTANȚA
“A terrace on the high shore
offers a beautiful view across the expanse of the sea, and when the moon is above
the water, it casts a soft glow that floats over one side of the water.
The rest remains in darkness, and at night the sea lives up to its name as the ‘Black Sea.’”
(from the first letter by
Mihai Eminescu toto Veronica Micle, while he was in Constanța
– June 16, 1882)
Why is CONSTANȚA special?
“I then lived for manyin
the city of Constanța. Almost every day, at a certain hour, it would carry me toward
the port, toward the breakwater and the lighthouse, toward the sea, as if to a wonderful sanctuary... the sky took on a
purple haze of a unique hue, the ships, calm and confident in their destiny,
entered and left the harbor.” (Hortensia
Papadat – Bengescu)
With a history spanning over 2,000
years, Constanța bears the imprint of ancient civilizations. A place of exile for
the poet Publius Ovidius Naso, the city is also the maritime gateway to
the country. An important economic and tourist hub, the destination draws visitors with a rich
cultural mix of Greek, Roman, Genoese, Ottoman, and Romanian influences.
Today’s stories of
Constanța— the sultans’ Kustenge for nearly half a millennium —
delight you with history, traditions, unique architectural styles, and a
cultural heritage where medieval charm blends harmoniously with modern life.
