  1. Class that worked on the project • XI G science of natures City and country • -Constanta, Romania

  2. CONSTANTA Which is the main Romanian sea port, boasting an imposing archaeological museum

  3. Constanta has been built on and around a promontory of land extending into the Black Sea, which has allowed it to shield ships from the strong winds that blow along the seacoast. Its position may also account for its long history, which is that of a seaport ever since the 6th century B.C.. The foundations of the city were laid in some 2,600 years ago, when Greek colonists built the city of Tomis on its present site.

  4. The Archaeology Museum houses interesting exhibits and ancient art objects, among which a menhir statue belonging to the prehistoric culture of Hamangia which represents a female goddess, the statues of Fortuna and Pontos, the patron protectors of ancient Tomis, as well as the Glycon serpent, having a snake body, but human hair and ears.

  5. One should not miss the superb multicoloured mosaic of the 13th century situated in the close vicinity of the Town Hall!

  6. Constanta's spiritual patron is the Roman poet Ovid, who was exiled there by Emperor Augustus in 8 A.D.. In Tomis he wrote some of his important works, i.e. the poems Tristia and Epistulae ex Ponto, which express sadness of being far away from home. Despite his appeals for mercy, Ovid remained in Tomis until his death.

  7. Turkish rule is evoked by Mahmoud II Mosque, from whose tower one may get an overall view of Constanta

  8. Children may be delighted to admire the fish fauna of the Black Sea in the Aquarium near the wonderful rococo style Casino, or the very intelligent and playful dolphins at the Delphinarium.

  9. The "grown-ups" can go shopping and find various kinds of entertainment along the Tomis Boulevard, the main street of the city, bordered with cinemas and theatres

  10. The main urban settlement of the area is Constanta, a seaport to the Black Sea and one of the most important cities of Romania, situated in the south-east of the country. Constanta, with its charter flights during the summer, is also accessible by road, by railway or by water. It is a lively city where one will find it worthwhile to spend a few days and learn about a glorious ancient past, or simply about day-to-day life in a Romanian trade and tourism destination. Some 10 main resorts of the Romanian Black Sea shore are stringing southwards along the coast, while Mamaia lies a few thousand metres north to Constanta

  11. Aqua Magic from Mamaia
