Constanța old town (centrul vechi) filmed in 4K
The old town is a district of Constanța, without administrative existence. It corresponds to the extent of Constanta in 1900. It includes the Peninsula where all the ancient and medieval history of the city is concentrated. This is commonly considered to include the part of Constanța located between the Black Sea, Ferdinand Boulevard, Mihai Viteazu and Termelor Streets, a perimeter corresponding to the ancient city of Tomis, the Byzantine fortress Constantiniana and the Ottoman town Küstence.
One of the main tourist attractions of the old city is the statue dedicated to the Roman poet Publius Ovidius Naso, in Ovidiu Square (Piața Ovidiu). Here are The Great Mahmudiye Mosque (Moscheea Mare Mahmoud II) build by King Carol I in 1910 and the Museum of National History (Muzeul de Istorie Naţională şi Arheologie). Other landmarks are The Roman Mosaics (Edificiul Roman cu Mozaic), The Genoese Lighthouse (Farul Genovez), The Casino (Cazinoul), The House with Lions (Casa cu Lei), Romanian Navy Museum (Muzeul marinei române), and Hotel Palace. Most important churches are Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul (Catedrala Sfinții Apostoli Petru și Pavel) and the Greek Church Transfiguration (Metamorphosis).
