The Museum of National History and Archaeology, located in a grand historic building, is a major tourist attraction in Constanta. It houses an extensive collection of over 430,000 archaeological and numismatic artifacts dating from the Paleolithic era to modern times. The museum showcases Roman, Byzantine, Greek, and medieval artifacts such as stone tools, bronze weapons, ceramics, ancient architectural elements like columns and friezes.
The museum invited guests at the period for the events that reserved the class for the Christmas spectacle, the Easter or new activities across the years. I was soon at the spectacle there, with children singing about our great poet, Mihai Eminescu.

Even though the museum is temporarily closed for renovations, it’s still worth a visit for its impressive exterior. Located in Ovidiu Square, right in the heart of the old town, the building has a grand, early 20th-century design with beautiful arches and intricate details. There are tombs and ruins outside But not in the best state of conservation
Daniel L — Google review
I was in this museum before it was closed for renovation. I hope it will be really cleaned up (as well as modernize the exposition inside the museum), because the building is beautiful, historical, but urgently needs renovation. About impressions, I liked it, but in contrast to other museums in Europe, it felt like it needed renovation

A nice museum give you great idea about Romania history and include alot of precious statues and rare antiques. Also story about the modern time of romania and the period of ceausescu. For sure you must visit if you come to constanta.

It was sad to see they had photoshootings and closed part of the exhibition during visiting hours with no prior notice. Looks like they lack funds for proper displays, lighting, etc, such a shame because every exhibit is mesmerising. Also there's no AC system in the building, only a few units in every other room, be careful and stay hydrated if you go in the summer months.

A place to visit, discover, think of and enjoy not for one day. From the very start of Tomis. Great much information. With great thanks to those, who established. I visited this museum three times. And today I enjoyed the exhibition of works of mosaics too. Opened recently. Great! The works and creations to be watched and admired once more and more. The icons, images and pictures ( May be, not just pictures, but very interesting and beautiful. Greatest thanks for those, who created all these wonders and organized it. Thanks to museum I deepened my knowledge in a lot of things and points. I deepened my knowledge of history of ancient world, of how people lived and travelled... And, the best 4,5 or 6D travells will never sibstitute the real one. And, still, in front of my eyes are images If Jesus Christ, Our Lady, Saints and Angels made of mosaics... Great, profound, educative and accomplished! Greatest thanks to all those who established this museum, enriches it and takes care of! contributed to and keep the museum. GREAT!!!!!

The Casino of Constanța is a historic Art Nouveau-style villa located along a seafront promenade. Built in 1909, it was initially intended to reflect Romanian architectural traditions but underwent a change in design by a French architect, resulting in its Art Nouveau style. Over the years, the casino served various purposes including as a theater, ballroom, leisure spot, and even as a hospital during World War I.
Such an amazing location and historical place to visit, highly recommend it, we had an amazing time and had a family group of varied ages from 7 to 50+ years, we all found different interesting exhibits and sections. The renovation is breathtaking and we managed to visit in a sunnier day in September and the light flowing through the stained glass windows was beautiful. We loved the interactive exhibits and that it wasn't very crowded being in extra season.
Alexandra — Google review
I love this place. It was my favourite place to visit even before its restoration. I loved to go down the stairs and listen to the sound of water. Now, that was brought back “to life” I come with more pleasure than before. Even though the stairs are no longer open for public. The entrance is a bit expensive - 53 ron, but to keep this gem in good condition I think worth the price. When I entered I was speechless. The casino itself is a work of art. The warm colors of the walls are giving a very welcoming feeling. The overall experience was very pleasant and I am happy I visited.

This is one of the most beautiful Art Nuveau buildings in Europe that has been recently renovated and is now open to the public. The architecture and interior design is breathtakingly beautiful with all original details restored to perfection. The building is situated in a lovely spot with great vista over the Black Sea and plenty of walking and dining choices alongside the promenade. The entry is best done online where you can book a timeslot and helps with planning your visit particularly during busy holiday periods but walk in tickets are available too.

Constanța Casino – A Must-See Landmark The Constanța Casino is absolutely stunning! Perched right on the Black Sea, it offers breathtaking views and a fascinating glimpse into Romania’s history. Even though the building is currently being restored, its Art Nouveau architecture and elegant details are unforgettable. Walking along the seafront promenade and seeing the waves crash beside this iconic monument is a magical experience. Whether you’re into photography, history, or simply love beautiful scenery, the Constanța Casino is a must-visit when exploring the city.

An absolute must see for anyone in the region. A breathtaking architectural, acoustic, visual and educative experience. The exhibitions inside were a great plus. Highly recommended!
Calin A — Google review
The Casino of Constanța is one of the most iconic landmarks on the Romanian seaside and absolutely worth a visit. The architecture is stunning — a true Art Nouveau jewel perched right on the Black Sea promenade. The views are spectacular at any time of day, but especially at sunset when the building glows in golden light and the waves crash against the rocks below. Inside, you can feel the history of the place. After many years of decay, the restoration finally brought back its charm, with stained glass, ornate details, and elegant halls. There are also exhibitions and multimedia installations that tell the story of the Casino and Constanța’s past, which makes the visit both cultural and emotional. That said, not everything is perfect yet. Some areas remain closed, and at times the schedule feels limited. The entrance fee can feel a bit high compared to how much of the building you can actually explore. Around the promenade there are still fences and signs of ongoing work. Overall though, this place is the symbol of Constanța. Even if you only admire it from outside, it’s unforgettable. The combination of architecture, sea views, and history make it a must-see. Come with the right expectations — this is no longer a gambling casino, but a beautifully restored cultural landmark that tells its own dramatic story.
Dani V — Google review
I visited the casino yesterday, on a weekday. It wasn't very crowded. It's worth every penny, it's been beautifully renovated. I was amazed by its beauty. What should be considered though would be a security check at the entrance, as is the case in every tourist attraction outside the country.
Melissa S — Google review
The Constanța Casino is a stunning Art Nouveau building with a rich history, situated on the Black Sea coast in Romania. I recently visited the Constanța Casino, and I was blown away by its intricate details and historical significance. This iconic building has been beautifully restored to its former glory, showcasing its stunning Art Nouveau design. Although it's not operational as a casino, the building still offers a glimpse into its glorious past. The Constanța Casino is a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Whether you're an architecture buff, history enthusiast, or simply looking for a fascinating spot to explore, this casino is a must-visit destination.

Place of worship
The Great Mosque of Constanța, also known as the Carol Mosque, is a significant religious and architectural site in Romania. Situated near other historical landmarks, this beautiful mosque was built between 1910 and 1913 at the initiative of King Carol. It replaced the former Mahmudiye Mosque from the Ottoman era and showcases a stunning blend of Byzantine, Islamic, and Ottoman architectural styles.
The Great Mosque of Constanța is a stunning and historic landmark. The interior is beautifully organized and exceptionally clean. Entry costs just 4 lei, and climbing the 149 steps to the top of the minaret (298 total, up and down) is well worth it. The panoramic views of Constanțan and the Black Sea are breathtaking — especially on a clear day. Be careful if it’s windy, though — it feels like your phone could fly away! Overall, it was a fun and memorable experience. I loved it.

A beautiful masque located in most famous area in constanta and it was built at 1912 by king carol. Its open for Muslim to pray inside and also any one can buy a ticket and go up till the top of minaret there is stunning view for the city and you can take alot of nice picture.

It is located in the the heart of beautiful city Constanta. During our river cruise we came here for walking tour. As we passed by this mosque we wanted to see it from inside but the doors were closed. It is also popularly known as Grand Mosque of Constanta. It was built by King carol I in 1912 for Turkish community. It was a beautiful piece of architecture.
Balkrishna S — Google review
The Great Mosque of Constanța, a historic landmark, blends Romanesque Revival, Byzantine, and Egyptian architectural styles. Commissioned by King Carol I in 1910, it's the largest mosque in Romania and a symbol of religious tolerance. Located near the city center, it's easily accessible and offers stunning city views from its minaret. Inside, visitors can admire the intricate details, the grand prayer hall, and the beautiful carpets. A must-visit for those interested in history and architecture.

A beautiful landmark of the Old Constanta Town - with many memories from childhood and teenage years. It adds to the colorfulness of the city. A piece of history that everyone should visit - and go up the legendary tower.
Adrian P — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking! I am so happy I visited this mosque. It was not too busy and by the time I reached the top I found myself alone in the tower. This was wonderful because I could take my time and enjoy the views at leisure. The stairs are quite steep and it is difficult to move if there is someone going the opposite direction. Also in a bit of need of some renovation. Anyway, besides the point. Simply being able to enjoy the views of the sea, the port, and the city, is certainly worth it. Highly recommend it! Entrance is only 5 Ron.

Situated on the waterfront between Constanta Casino and the Navy Command, the Genoese Lighthouse holds great historical significance for the city. This 16m tall structure from the mid-19th century served as a guide for sailors with its fixed white light beaming 21m above sea level, offering visibility up to 5 km offshore. Its construction is admired for its beauty and stands as a testament to Constanta's maritime history.

Historical landmark
Archaeological Park Tomis in Constanta, Romania is a captivating site located along the picturesque Black Sea coast. It offers a glimpse into the ancient city of Tomis, founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. The park showcases Roman-era neighborhoods and excavated buildings dating back almost 2000 years. Visitors can freely explore this historical treasure and walk among the well-preserved ruins.
Free to enter as you wish. Early Christian site from the Roman Empire. Excevated during an earlier age - enjoy while it lasts in this form. It's a PARK - meaning you can walk into it and be amongst the nearly 2000 year old ruins. Walk on stones that people walked on back then. Admittedly, I've never been to Pompeii. And I'm sure that in comparison this is an impoverished distant cousin's nephew's uncle. And yes, I did notice the 1970's cement and the fact that a few of the more interesting bits seemed to have been placed there. Possibly from the same site, possibly from elsewhere. You can see similar "bits" in the Museum of National History" in Bucharest. Not exposed to the elements. I must admit to having - very lightly - touched a wall once or twice. Being overwhelmed by what I can only describe as a carthatic experience. Please don't steal stuff or use it as a duping site for trash.

The Archaeological Park in Constanța offers a glimpse into the ancient city of Tomis. Ruins of Roman walls and towers, alongside artifacts, are scattered throughout a leafy green space. It's a peaceful spot in the city center, close to other attractions like the Constanța Casino and the Museum of National History and Archaeology. While small, it's a worthwhile stop for history buffs.

(Translated by Google) Just a few steps from the moving and blue expanse, in an area with a dreamy landscape, especially on clear days, when the Black Sea is calm, right next to the seaward wall of the Archbishop's Cathedral "Holy Apostles Peter and Paul", the passerby will he saw a fragment of an ancient quarter of the Tomis Fortress. This space has a fabulous story, because it attests, through material evidence, the living testimony of man's presence on this earth, proving the existence of the Tomis Fortress in the 6th century BC. B.C., traces of habitation being present here long before this date. On the occasion of the four excavation campaigns that took place in this perimeter between 1971 and 1974, by specialists of the Constanta National History and Archeology Museum, no less than 12 archaeological levels were discovered here. The archaeological complex in the Archbishop's Cathedral Park reproduces a part of a district of the ancient city of Tomis from the Roman era from the 4th - 6th centuries, the traces of houses and streets with remnants of pavements and fragments of sewers being visible. (Original) La doar câţiva paşi de întinderea mişcătoare şi albastră, într-o zonă cu un peisaj de vis, mai ales în zilele senine, când Marea Neagră este calmă, chiar lângă zidul dinspre mare al Catedralei Arhiepiscopale „Sfinţii Apostoli Petru şi Pavel“, trecătorul va vedea un fragment dintr-un cartier antic al Cetăţii Tomisului. Acest spaţiu are o poveste fabuloasă, deoarece atestă, prin dovezi materiale, mărturia vie a prezenţei omului pe acest pământ, dovedindu-se existenţa Cetăţii Tomis în secolul al VI-lea î. Hr., aici fiind prezente şi urme de locuire cu mult înainte de această dată. Cu ocazia celor patru campanii de săpături care s-au desfăşurat în acest perimetru între anii 1971 şi 1974, de către specialişti ai Muzeului de Istorie Naţională şi Arheologie Constanţa, aici au fost surprinse nu mai puţin de 12 niveluri arheologice. Complexul arheologic din Parcul Catedralei Arhiepiscopale redă o parte dintr-un cartier al oraşului antic Tomis din epocă romană din secolele IV - VI, fiind vizibile urmele unor locuinţe şi străzi cu resturi de pavaje şi fragmente ale unor canalizări.

Situated in the historical center of Constanta, Romania, The Roman Mosaic is a must-see attraction for history and art lovers. This ancient mosaic, dating back to the 4th century BC, is one of the world's largest preserved mosaics. Its captivating design and historical significance make it a top destination for visitors exploring the city's rich cultural heritage.
Great place to be, if you love ancient history, art, roman period and ancient Rome design. Worth getting there. A makeover? Perhaps they need, but with such cheap tickets and no donations it is very hard to think on a make-over. Keep up the good work.

A big disappointment. While in Constanta I planned to visit this museum especially, but it's literally falling apart, the condition is heartbreaking. It seems forgotten. I don't know the reason why no money spent on improving the museum as it is part of the Romanian history. In addition to this, the museum is actually smaller than expected. 5 minutes inside the building is enough. If you are interested in mosaics, visit Gaziantep (Turkey) Zeugma museum. This is how a museum should be, with a huge exposition of mosaics.

It is a shame! Firstly, for structural aspects, the current state of building and mosaic itself is degraded. It was an achievement when it was discovered and arranged this way, but now even if the country is richer, there is no care for it. The mosaic urgently needs restoration and protection, colours are lost, it is also endangered. We have seen several mosaics, some out in open air were better maintained than this one. Secondly, there is dirt in the building, there is broken glass at the doors, the information is minimal and almost useless, so leaving aside structural investments, not even minimal things are done to make this more interesting. External wall fell down and was just left where it happened, no one cares. The local administration does not take care of the thermal baths and other sites located below either. Are there people working as historians and curators in this institution and county, what do they feel about it?...

The mosaic itself is nice but its not worth the visit. The whole building is falling apart. It was not maintained since it was built. The mosaic also needs maintenance. If they don't do something soon it's going to get destroyed as well.

Definitely should be visited but the facility can be improved a lot, the stairs are quite steep and there's no facilities or elevators for disabled people. The lady from the entrance was very kind. There can be added more informational panels and with more images and even digital experiences. 5 stars for the history but 1 star for the setup and experience, definitely too expensive. It is great to see where other people spent their time thousands years ago.

This is a quite spectacular Roman building and mosaic in the old town area of Constanta. Sadly, just like the National History Museum that it is part of and which is located next door, it is sadly neglected and uninspired as a museum. Little is made of the long history of the city, of its cultural and historic significance, And it’s a real pity. I would love to see this exhibit a bit modernized and more loved. There is zero advertising for this interesting exhibit in the city, if you do not know what you’re looking for you can barely figure out that it’s there.

Situated at the intersection of Tomis and Ferdinand avenues in downtown, the Museum of Folk Art is a significant institution showcasing traditional art and architecture. Housed in a historic 19th-century building that was once Constanta's first high school, it holds an impressive collection of Dobrogea's rich folk heritage, including ceramics, wood and glass icons, traditional costumes, and ornaments.
During our river cruise, we came here during our walking tour. This historic building is located right at the beginning of pedestrian street. Since 1975 it has officially become the Museum of Folk Art. There are thousands of artefacts, paintings, depicting folk culture of Romanian culture. The colorful folk clothing of both gender are absolutely marvelous. There is also a souvenir shop on the ground floor.

You can see the whole thing in probably 30 minutes. The garments are really nice. The downside the that the staff follows you around like you are gonna steal something. There aren't detailed placards describing what you are looking at. There are QR codes you can scan for a bit more information but English ones are only on about 1/3 of the displays and the text is pretty poor. Still, if you just want to see some really nice clothes and other items, this museum is worth it for the relatively low cost.
David R — Google review
If you want to indulge in a visual history lesson of the Romanian people, which has been woven for centuries, by means of the traditional attire for each Romanian region, then look no further. Pleasant to the eye, each section has its own unique features (starting from the traditional attire and household elements, and finishing off with tapestries and other exhibits). The only downside, however, is the overpriced merchandise.

No English descriptions, if any they were very vague as “women’s clothing”. The museum did not offer much information about the origins of the exhibits. The lady who gave us the tickets looked very rude. There was a water dispenser and when my wife drank water she told use we were not allowed to walk with the cup. It would have been interesting to read about the meaning of certain clothing designs and some conclusions about what some exhibits have in common.

Situated at the intersection of Tomis and Ferdinand avenues in downtown, The Museum of Romanian Navy is a significant institution showcasing the history of the Romanian navy. Housed in a building with historical significance as Constanta's first high school, it holds collections displaying the evolution of navigation vessels from ancient sailing boats to modern ships, including weaponry and tools used during both world wars.

Overall, I do recommend this Romanian Naval Museum. However, there are some cons, along with the pros. Pros: - Quality displays representing the history of the Romanian Navy - Decently priced entry - Open on Sunday Cons: - You must pay an extra $5 if you want to take photos (cell phone or otherwise) - Staff aren’t especially friendly - The displays aren’t well labeled - Quite warm inside, perhaps it was due to the humidifiers? Unsure. But bring some water - Nothing interactive, so not much fun for the under 15 crowd

Many scaled ship models and some real size ones, many objects used in navigation, uniforms and costumes, maps, objects discovered under the sea or in ports, from different centuries. The temporary expo of scaled ship model collections, miniatures and dioramas was amazing. Outside expo displays real 20th century ships and ship components. All exhibits are described in Romanian, English and French. Free entrance on Marine's day (August 15th) and free guided tour by volunteers of the Romanian Scouts.

The Art Museum in Constanta is a must-visit for art enthusiasts, showcasing the works of renowned Romanian artists from the 19th and 20th centuries. The museum's two buildings house an extensive collection, including pieces by Nicolae Grigorescu, Ioan Andreescu, Theodor Aman, and Stefan Luchian. Visitors can immerse themselves in over a hundred years of Romanian art history.
Very impressive collection of art by Romanian painters, coming here I didn’t expect it to be as good as it is. The stuff is amazing, very helpful and kind

A very pleasant experience visiting this museum. It's cozy, I can describe it like this. The exhibition of paintings by Romanian artists is decent and there were a lot of interesting things to see, I spent 2-3 hours looking at everything. The only disappointing thing was that it was empty, me and my mom were practically the only ones in the large halls who were visitors (maybe it's just that kind of day). As an artist, it's more satisfying to see museums filled and feel that they are popular. That's what I wish for this amazing museum.)

Fabulous art museum spread over four different floors with such a great variety of Romanian artists. I discovered a children’s art class which was a highlight! The children were painting a still life of plants and a kettle. There paintings were excellent and I was very impressed. Definitely budding artists in this painting class! Bravo!

A good and diverse art collection, nicely organized. The staff was quite unfriendly, as they wanted to close early (we arrived two and a half hours before closing time; from the get go they told us the museum was closing with some 15 mins earlier than scheduled; while they still had 1 hour on the clock they started making unbefitting remarks about time).

I was very impressed by the collection of Romanian artworks displayed in the museum, especially works of Grigorescu. There are also a lot of sculptures and the entire experience was more than beautiful, it exceeded all expectations. You can easily spend there 2 hours so totally recommend it when visiting Constanța.

The Dolphinarium of Constanța is a must-visit attraction for visitors of all ages. It is one of the largest dolphinariums in Europe and offers an unforgettable experience by the picturesque shores of the Black Sea. The complex includes dolphin and sea lion shows, as well as interactions with penguins and exotic birds. Inaugurated in 1972, it is the first dolphinarium in South-Eastern Europe.
Had the best experience seeing the dolphins. Been visiting with the family and we stopped for a marvellous show. Kids enjoyed a lot the show. I suggest to buy the tickets online together with the parking option so you won't get disappointed that you can't get inside in the parking lot. If you're coming without car you can buy tickets from the ticket office and the queues aren't so big. Anyway it is must see if your around the area.

Forget Disneyland, the Dolphinarium of Constanta is the happiest place on earth! 😄 The show itself can be described as 25 minutes of pure joy. The 5 dolphins are magnificent and the bond that they share with their trainers is spectacular. Music, flawless tricks, we found the experience to be magical. We stayed in the first row and the perception on the show is unique. I highly recommend trying it (yes, you will get splashed. But that’s part of the fun, right?)

Horrible conditions – do not support this place! We visited this park with our daughter and were absolutely shocked by what we saw. The animals are kept in catastrophic conditions. In some enclosures, there were even dead animals (guinea pigs). Many animals don’t have enough food, and in some cases, they were being fed completely inappropriate things. For example, we saw deer being given bananas – something that is absolutely unsuitable for their diet as ruminants. Even more shocking: the cattle standing in one of the fields had no food at all, although as ruminants, they absolutely depend on constant access to proper roughage like hay or grass. Nothing about this place is species-appropriate or humane. There is trash everywhere, the entire area is dirty, neglected, and completely unacceptable. Some animals don’t even have shade. We deeply regret supporting this place by paying for admission. The only thing we can do now is warn others not to visit. Please do not support this kind of animal cruelty.

2025/09 performance performed by dolphins and their trainers. i loved those (bur not only considering exited screams) when dolphins did the tricks without any equipment - just animal in action, as the top part could be without any doubts tagged trainers and dolphins interactions - swimming, jumping, riding together 👏👏👏 the show last about half an hours, at the end you could have a picture for fee 20lei wit dolphin touching your hand. as bonus, there is a small scuba diving exibition in the foyer with focus on romanian divers. tip: if you want to literally feel the show, chose the seats close to the pool 😉 parking: yes, paid; or street parking paid as well, but could be an issue to find a spot looks like very soon an extention of the facility will be completed, hopefully with something interisting for visitors as well. toilets: yes food&beverages: not in the dolphinaroum building, and did not see any kiosk or bistro around cashless: yes

The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is a remarkable Eastern Orthodox church located in Constanta, Romania. The building exhibits typical Wallachian architectural style and the interior is adorned with stunning paintings depicting various scenes from the Bible, including the life of Christ as well as depictions of saints. Additionally, there are exquisite icons and relics on display that add to the grandeur of this cathedral. In front of the church lie ancient Roman ruins which further enhance its historical significance.
During our river cruise we were brought here for a walking tour. It was located between Ovid Square and Black Sea. The Cathedral is in Greco-Roman style. It was built in 1881-1885. Its interior was marvelous full of grandeur. The stunning paintings, chandeliers and, intricated carved wooden work is worth seeing. The ambience inside was so soothing and serene.

The Cathedral of "Saints Peter and Paul" in Constanța, with its Neo-Byzantine style, is an imposing structure. Its ornate facade features intricate brickwork, a large dome, and two tall bell towers. Inside, visitors are greeted by a spacious interior adorned with colorful frescoes and mosaics. The cathedral stands on a hill, offering views of the surrounding cityscape and the Black Sea. Its central location makes it easily accessible and a prominent landmark in Constanța.
Kenneth B — Google review
This cathedral isn’t just a religious building — it’s a statement. Perched above the port, with the Black Sea in the distance and Roman ruins at its feet, Catedrala Sfinții Petru și Pavel feels like something lifted from history and carefully placed into the present. From the outside, the architecture commands attention — neo-Byzantine with Romanian touches, wrapped in a quiet kind of grandeur. Step inside, and you’re greeted by golden light, rich wooden carvings, towering frescoes, and a sacred calm that cuts through the city's usual chaos. Despite ongoing renovations, the space feels incredibly well-preserved. The chandeliers are spectacular, the iconostasis is intricately detailed, and the sense of stillness inside is almost cinematic. It's also fascinating how the cathedral is surrounded by layers of history — mosques, ruins, modern blocks — all coexisting in one strange, beautiful harmony. Definitely worth a visit, whether you’re into architecture, spiritual places, or just need a quiet pause with a view. A true hidden gem in Constanța’s old town — no loud fanfare, just presence.

Romania has many pretty Orthodox churches. Being located right next to an Early Christian site from the Roman Empire, makes this ideal to visit in a combo for visiting tourists. Religiously inclined, or otherwise. Being a "Cathedral" it has some "relics". The live music certainly made the visit immersive and impressive. For those so inclined, to burn your standard commemorative candle, they have set up a seperate shed outside. Okay, I'm not Romanian. Or so inclined. But if I were to buy a candle for my mum and light it... I'd take it down to the ruis and sit there contemplating life. Not in the shed.

This is a review from a Greek: Absolute disgust with the candle policy! Why do they charge money to get a candle. They have a price tag! What if I am poor and want to light a candle everyday! Hristos said, do not commercialize the house of god. Christian Religion is FREE. We anyway pay for the Church expenses and priest salaries via our taxation. All is covered by the state in Romania. At least in Greece the churches have a different candle policy. You can donate anything or nothing in a small discreet hole by yourself.

Historical landmark
The Genovese Lighthouse in Constanta is a historic symbol dating back to Medieval times when the city was a major trading hub for Genoese merchants. Originally constructed in the 14th century and rebuilt in the 19th century, this lighthouse guided ships with its white light reaching 21 meters above sea level and visible up to 5 kilometers offshore. Unlike other lighthouses, it did not rotate.
The Genovese Lighthouse stands on the cliff of Constanta, behind the monument depicting the bust of Mihai Eminescu. When the Ottomans not yet trod the lands of the old continent of Europe the Genovese galleys were landed in the ancient city of Tomis in the late thirteenth century. This Italic nation had to to dominate for a long period of time, the basin of the Euxin Pontus. Skilled navigators and innate merchants, the Genovese Italians knew the secret of that time: had under your control the Silk Road, whereby most goods and diverse around the world were circulating, then you were leading the trading and prospering in everything. And the Silk Road was passing through the Black Sea, and later coming to the West through the Romanian coast and Thus, the control of the seaside Euxinus Pontus was ensuring their global dominance of trade. Moncastro (the White Fortress), Licostomo (Chilia), Caladda (Galațt), San Giorgio (Giurgiu) or Constanta were key points colonized by the Genoese, where carefully controlled this ancient form of globalization: the Silk Road. They have written important pages in the history of the ancient city of Tomis, but certainly the most important symbol is the Lighthouse, a living testimony as Latin continuity of these lands. Around 1300 the Genovese were building here, of stone. a Lighthouse, which had to wear the legends on its shoulders to this day. Damaged by the passage of time, the lighthouse was restored between 1858 and 1860 by the Frech engineer, Armenian by origin, Artin Aslan for the English Company Danube&Black Sea Railway, which has built the railway Cernavodă-Constanța and modernized the Port Constanța,. The lighthouse pedestal is a quadrangular shape, of which an octogonal construction stands up with a platform that goes up ending with a platform that exceeds exceeding the tower and is supported by small buttresses. On this counterforce is placed a metal room with windows all around, covered with a round metal dome. The light of lighthouse was static, representing a bright landmark for sailors at sea. It operated until 1913, from 1948, when he was restored, a tourist attraction. It has the height of 8 m, being rebuilt in the honor of Genovese merchants who contributed to the flourishing of Constanta.
Teodor B — Google review
Built between 1858 and 1860 by French-Armenian engineer Artin Aslan, the Genoese Lighthouse was commissioned by the Danube and Black Sea Railway Company as a tribute to the Genoese merchants who once established trade in the region. This modest, octagonal stone structure stands about 8 meters tall and served as a functional navigational aid for over half a century, guiding ships safely into port from 1860 until 1913—when the larger Carol I Lighthouse took over. Located near the modern port of Constanța, the lighthouse is more than just a relic. It symbolizes the city’s deep maritime heritage and its historical role in Black Sea commerce. The 2020 restoration is worth noting—it was done with care, preserving the original architectural elements and presenting the structure in its best light. The light bulb was reinstated, and the lighthouse now functions once more, both as a navigational aid and a meaningful attraction. Kudos to the team for a restoration that respects history while keeping it alive.

It was once home to an Armenian trader and later housed a local printer. The house has ties to the famous art collector Zambaccian, who was inspired by its paintings. During communism, it was restored and used as a restaurant.

Such an architectural jewel done by arh. Ion Berindei (he has lions in all his work), this building was home to an armenian trader. Later, it was lended to a less known local printer. It is said that one day, passing by this house, Zambaccian himself saw those paintings in such a wonderful place and fell in love with art. He later became one of the most famous art collectors in Romania. During comunism, The House with Lions was restaurated and became a restaurant.

Art Museums
Nestled in the heart of Constanta, Romania, the Muzeul de Sculptură Ion Jalea is a hidden gem for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Housed in a charming early 20th-century Neo-Romanian building that once served as the residence of the county governor, this museum showcases an impressive collection of over 200 sculptures by the celebrated Romanian artist Ion Jalea.
Good but not very spectacular exhibition and the pricy ticket.

It's a neat little museum, and we enjoyed visiting it, but if you are not familiar with the artist and his work, the museum doesn't help much. None of the sculptures have information related to when they were created, materials or techniques used. You just find the works with their names and that's it. So you might want to get informed before going. Also, it is not a friendly museum for people with disabilities, as there are no ramps for wheelchairs.

This museum is located opposite to st Pete and Paul cathedral. A beautiful building. Not big. The sculptures are great and watching them is a real pleasure and a great meals for soul and spirit. Sculptures, reflecting Greek and Roman mythology, sculptures of common people I was greatly impressed by the image of Mother Mary and Jesus Christ, carved on stone. Each sculpture is a great masterpiece. Visiting this museum I got great and real pleasure! Constanta, everyone, who contributed to creation and keeping the museum, greatest thanks!!!!!!,

Small museum but worth visiting. Focused only on sculptures, of which some are really interesting and "different".

I was surprised to find this small but important museum in this small city. A wonderful collection hosted in a beautiful building
Evangelia P — Google review
Very poorly maintained, needs drastic changes and professionalization. Quite a lot of fine sculptures by Jalea, but not properly presented. Might as well opt instead for Muzeul de Arta.

Historical landmark
Mosque
The "Hunkar" Mosque, constructed in 1868 in Moorish style, is the second most significant mosque in the city. While not frequently accessible to visitors, it offers a glimpse into an ancient Muslim place of prayer. Visitors are reminded to dress respectfully, particularly women. The mosque is one of Constanta's oldest places of worship and was built using stone from the walls of the ancient Roman city of Tomis.
A very old Muslim place for praying. It must not be visited unless you will respect and wear the adequate clothing especially for women.
