THE RUINS OF THE TOMIS FORTRESS

It has been more than 2,500 years since the Greek seafarers and merchants of Milet built this settlement by the sea, on the site of the city of Constanța.

The Tomis fortress went through a stage of prosperity until the middle of the first century A.D. and became the capital city of the area between the Danube and the Black Sea following Roman invasion. The fortress featured plenty of temples and edifices, public squares and thermal baths, marble workshops, new roads and neighborhoods, some of which survived time and are now visible all around the city of Constanța.
