• Constanta Casino - The tale of the Constanta Casino mirrors the fate of many of Romania’s magnificent yet neglected historical landmarks. This remarkable example of early 20th-century Art Nouveau architecture once symbolized Constanta, Romania’s principal port on the Black Sea. No other structure captures the Belle Epoque era in Constanta as perfectly as the Casino. Constructed in the early 1900s at the behest of Romania’s first King, Carol I, it opened in 1910 and served as a prime seaside gathering spot for affluent tourists who enjoyed gambling until World War II. The Casino’s foundations were altered three times based on the visions of architects Daniel Renard and Petre Antonescu.

An eclectic architectural masterpiece, adorned with marine-themed decorations, including its almost dreamlike shell windows facing the Black Sea, the Casino was a welcoming venue.

• Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul - The Orthodox Cathedral “Holy Apostles Peter and Paul” is a revered place of worship in Constanța, situated in the city’s peninsular area, below Ovidiu Square, opposite the Tomis Archdiocese building. Its monumental architecture dominates the southern cliff of the city. The foundation stone was laid on September 4, 1883, during the tenure of Metropolitan Iosif Gheorghian, and the church was consecrated on May 22, 1895. The building plans were crafted by the renowned architect Alexandru Orăscu, with Carol Beniș overseeing the construction. Henri Guaracino was the contractor. The park surrounding the cathedral features an archaeological complex with elements from the ancient city of Tomis.
• Carol I Mosque - The Grand Mosque of Constanța stands on the site of the former Mahmudia Mosque, built in 1822 by Hafız Hüsseyin Pașa and named after Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II. Commissioned in 1910 by Romanian King Carol I, construction began on June 24, 1910, with the first cornerstone laid in the presence of Spiru Haret, then Romanian Minister of Religious Affairs; Sefa Bey, then Ottoman ambassador in Bucharest; and the Ottoman consul in Constanța. The project was funded by the Romanian Government and entrepreneur Ion Neculcea, and completed in 1912.

The mosque was officially inaugurated by Carol I on May 31, 1913. During the ceremony, Sultan Mehmed V awarded the Order of the Medjidie to chief architect Victor Ștefănescu.

• Ovidiu Square - Formerly known as Independence Square, Ovidiu Square, where the town hall (now the National Museum of History and Archaeology) is located, is steeped in history. By the late 19th century, Ovidiu Square was characterized by two-story houses closely packed together, resembling a medieval courtyard, with tiled roofs and wrought iron balconies. The square was bustling with shops, cafes, and summer gardens.

In 1879, efforts began to align the buildings, and by the late 19th century, the eastern front (facing the sea) was completed. Architects designed it to shield the square from the winds. In front of the Ovid statue were three buildings that combined Baroque decorations with Art Nouveau elements, housing the Elite Hotel, a restaurant, a coffee shop, and the Cinema Palace. In 1910, a building in Romanian style was constructed, now home to the National Bank of Romania.

• Tomis Tourist Port - The Touristic Harbor of Tomis is one of Constanta’s most renowned spots for both tourists and locals. Regardless of the season, Tomis Harbor is a favored destination for those wishing to admire the sea, whether by car or on foot along the seafront. Access to the harbor is easy via a street that descends to the bay’s edge, where luxury yachts and sailing boats are moored. Visitors can enjoy waterfront terraces and numerous chic restaurants serving fish dishes. In summer, the bay of Tomis Harbor is often visited by dolphins, drawn by the beautiful water fountain in the center or by the tourists strolling along the shore. Besides being a place for relaxation, Tomis Harbor is ideal for organizing water sports activities. Local authorities plan to develop Tomis Harbor into a key destination for coastal sailing ships along the Romanian coast, with stops south to Eforie Costinești.
