Itinerary

Cazinoul Constanta

The story of the Constanta Casino is sadly the story of Romania’s many splendid, yet abandoned historical monuments. A great piece of Art Nouveau architecture from the early 20th century, the Casino was once the symbol of Romania’s main port, Constanta, on the shore of the Black Sea. No other monument illustrates so perfectly the Belle Epoque in Constanta like the building of the Casino. Dating from the first years of the last century, the Casino was built at the initiative of Romania’s first King, Carol the 1st. It was inaugurated in 1910, and until the Second World War, it was the main seaside meeting point for the rich tourists who enjoyed to gamble. The foundations of the Constanta Casino were modified three times depending on the architects’ perspectives, Daniel Renard and Petre Antonescu. An eclectic piece of architecture, with many marine-inspired decorations, including its almost surreal shell windows facing the Black Sea, the Casino was the place where you were received.

Catedrala Sfinkii Apostoli Petru si Pavel - Constanka

The Orthodox Cathedral "Holy Apostles Peter and Paul" is an Orthodox place of worship in Constanța, located in the peninsular area of the city, below the Ovidiu Square, in front of the Tomis Archdiocese building. The building dominates through its monumental architecture the entire area of the southern cliff of the city. The foundation stone was laid on September 4, 1883, during Metropolitan Iosif Gheorghian. The consecration of the church was done on May 22, 1895. The building plans belong to the famous architect Alexandru Orăscu [1], and the architect who was the director of the works was Carol Beniș. The contractor of the works was Henri Guaracino. In the park that surrounds the cathedral is an archaeological complex in which elements of the old city of Tomis are identified.

Moscheea Carol I

The Grand Mosque of Constanța stands on the site of the former Mahmudia Mosque (Geamia Mahmudia), built in 1822 by Hafız Hüsseyin Pașa and named after Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II. The Grand Mosque of Constanța was commissioned in 1910 by Romanian King Carol I. Construction began on 24 June 1910 with the first cornerstone laid in the presence of Spiru Haret, contemporary Romanian Minister of Religious Affairs; Sefa Bey, contemporary Ottoman ambassador in Bucharest; and the Ottoman consul in Constanța. The project was funded by the Romanian Government and entrepreneur Ion Neculcea, and finished construction in 1912. The mosque was officially inaugurated by Carol I on 31 May 1913. During the ceremony, Sultan Mehmed V bestowed the Order of the Medjidie upon chief architect Victor Ștefănescu.

Piaka Ovidiu

The former Independence Square (now Ovidiu Square), where they found the town hall (now the seat of National Museum of History and Archaeology) is a place full of history. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Ovidiu Square general line was given by houses with two levels stuck together (describing the square as a medieval inner courtyard), roof tiles, wrought iron balconies. The square was full of shops, cafes, summer gardens, etc. In 1879 they took the first steps to align the buildings. In the last decade of the nineteenth century the eastern front (seaward) was completed. The architects have thought it high to protect the square against the winds. In the space disposed in front of the statue of Ovid were three buildings that combined unitary Baroque decorations with Art Nouveau elements. Here there were the Elite Hotel, a restaurant, a coffee shop and cinema Palace. In 1910 was built in Romanian style the building that houses today the National Bank of Romania.
