Piaţa Ovidiu or Ovidiu Square. Arial View by DRONE. - Constanta Romania - ECTV
Constanţa (Ancient Greek: Tόμις - Tomis, Latin: Tomis Constantiana, Greek Κωνστάντζα - Konstandza, Aromanian Custantsa, Ottoman Turkish كو ستنجه - Köstendje, Turkish Köstence, Bulgarian Кюстенджа - Kiustendja) is the capital city of Dobrogea County , Romania, consisting of the component localities Constanţa (the capital), Mamaia and Palazu Mare.
Constanta is one of the oldest certified cities in Romania. The first documentary record dates back to 657 î.Hr. when a Greek colony called Tomis was formed on the site of the current peninsula (and even under the waters of today, next to the Casino). [4] The settlement was conquered by the Romans in 71 î.Hr. and renamed Constantiana after the sister of Emperor Constantine the Great. During the thirteenth century the Great Sea (as it was then called the Black Sea) was dominated by Italian merchants in Genoa who helped develop the city. Subsequently, Constanta suffered a decline under Ottoman rule, becoming a simple village inhabited by Greek fishermen and Tatar breeders of horses and sheep. The locality became a city again after the construction of the Cernavoda-Constanța railway and of the port, in 1865, for the export of the Romanian grain. After the War of Independence (1877-1878), when Dobrogea became part of Romania, Constanta, the main port of the state, has grown continuously, holding this role until today. [5]
The port of Constanta covers an area of 39.26 km²,[6] has a length of almost 30 km, is the largest port in the Black Sea basin and is on the 4th place in Europe.
Constanta was founded following the Greek colonization of the Black Sea basin (Greek Pontos Euxeinos) by millennial settlers in the VII-V centuries î.Hr., under the name of Tomis. This name is probably derived from the Greek word τομή (tomí) meaning cut, cleft. According to legend, Jason and his Argonauts would have stopped here after being sent to the Caucasus to steal the Golden Fleece. Pursued by the fleet of the King of Colhida, Aietes the Hawk, they would have cut into pieces his son, Absyrtos, until then held hostage on board, in order to force the king to search and collect the remains for the funeral ceremony, thus giving the Argonauts time to flee to the Bosphorus[7]. But archaeologists consider it more plausible that the cut (from the shoreline) would have designated rather the ancient port, today submerged, in front of the Casino. Another possible origin of the name would be Tomiris, mythical queen of the Masages, a Scythian people living between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, quoted by Herodotus.
The Millenians found on these places a Getic settlement, the new city reaching the level of a polis only in the IV-III century î.Hr. The port used by the Greeks for trade with the inhabitants of these regions (Dacians, Scythians and Celts) allowed the development of an urbanistic center. Tomis became a part of the Roman Empire in 46 AD, and Publius Ovidius Naso, the Roman poet, was exiled here between 8–17 AD, spending the last eight years of his life in Tomis.
The port city withstood the turbulent times of the third and fourth centuries, troubled by numerous Gothic, Scythian and Hunic invasions, becoming the residence of the province of Scythia Minor (Latin Scythia Minor, Greek Μικρά Σκυθία / Mikrá Skithía). After the partition of the Roman Empire, Tomis, along with all of Scythia Minor, reverted to the Eastern Roman Empire and was renamed Constantiana. It remained a fortress and a port of the Eastern Empire until the seventh century, when it was deserted due to the invasions of the Slavs and Proto-Bulgarians, who conquered Scythia Minor in 680 after the Battle of Ongal.
My name is Eric Clark and I am a world traveler. I have been around the world a few times and decided to help fund my travels by sharing my videos and pictures. I have been to almost every country and would be glad to give tips and pointers. Drop me a note. = )

Istoria Pietei Ovidiu din Constanta (The History of Ovidius Square)
Piața Ovidiu din Constanța, numită după celebrul poet roman Ovidiu, are o istorie bogată și interesantă. În perioada romană, pe locul pieței se afla un important port comercial, denumit Portus Tomitanus. În secolele ulterioare, pe această locație s-au desfășurat diverse activități economice și sociale, iar piața a fost cunoscută sub diferite denumiri, precum Piața Vechiului Târg, Piața Mare sau Piața Unirii.
În anul 1887, piața a fost renovată și redenumită în cinstea lui Ovidiu, care a fost exilat în Constanța în perioada romană. Piața a fost amenajată cu un mic parc și cu o statuie a poetului, realizată de sculptorul Ettore Ferrari. În prezent, statuia lui Ovidiu se află în fața Muzeului de Istorie Națională și Arheologie din Constanța, iar piața găzduiește o serie de clădiri istorice, precum Palatul de Justiție sau Primăria Constanța.
Piața Ovidiu este una dintre cele mai importante zone turistice din Constanța, oferind o perspectivă fascinantă asupra istoriei și culturii acestui oraș. Aici se găsesc numeroase terase, cafenele și restaurante, precum și o serie de evenimente culturale și artistice, cum ar fi festivaluri, concerte și expoziții.

In the following centuries, various economic and social activities took place in this location, and the square was known under different names, such as Old Market Square, Great Square, or Union Square.
In 1887, the square was renovated and renamed in honor of Ovidius, who was exiled to Constanta during the Roman period. The square was arranged with a small park and a statue of the poet, created by sculptor Ettore Ferrari. Today, Ovidiu's statue is located in front of the National History and Archeology Museum in Constanta, and the square hosts a series of historic buildings such as the Palace of Justice or the City Hall of Constanta.

Constanta Black Sea Promenade. Great Views! - Constanta Romania - ECTV
Constanţa (Ancient Greek: Tόμις - Tomis, Latin: Tomis Constantiana, Greek Κωνστάντζα - Konstandza, Aromanian Custantsa, Ottoman Turkish كو ستنجه - Köstendje, Turkish Köstence, Bulgarian Кюстенджа - Kiustendja) is the capital city of Dobrogea County , Romania, consisting of the component localities Constanţa (the capital), Mamaia and Palazu Mare.

Orasul Ovidiu / Filmare aeriana
Oraşul Ovidiu este amplasat pe malul vestic al Lacului Siutghiol, la numai 10 km. Nord de municipiul Constanţa. În zona nordică este traversat de canalul fluvial Poarta Albă Midia Năvodari. Oraşul are în subordine satul Poiana şi localitatea Nazarcea
Pe insula Ovidiu din Lacul Siutghiol se presupune că ar exista mormântul poetului Publius Ovidius Naso. În momentul de faţă, pe insulă îşi desfăşoară activitatea un complex turistic cu restaurant cu specific pescăresc şi tradiţional românesc.

Insula Ovidiu
Unul dintre cele mai inedite locuri de pe litoralul românesc este Insula Ovidiu, situată în inima Lacului Siutghiol, la 500 m distanţă de malul oraşului Ovidiu şi 5 km de Staţiunea Mamaia.
Este singurul obiectiv de la noi din ţară care se află pe o insulă naturală, pe care oamenii locului au transformat-o de-a lungul timpului într-un punct de atracţie pentru turişti.
Insula Ovidiu este o insulă de origine calcaroasă, creată cu mii de ani în urmă de natură. Suprafaţa insulei este de aproximativ 26000 mp, circa jumătate din suprafaţă fiind amenajată în scop turistic.
Conform cercetărilor făcute pe insulă, cele mai vechi aşezări ale oamenilor în zonă datează din timpul traco-geţilor şi a geto-dacilor. De-a lungul timpului, aici au locuit şi populaţii daco-getice-scitice şi colonii greceşti.
Cu timpul, micul petic de pământ a stârnit curiozitatea şi imaginaţia oamenilor, care au ţesut în jurul său o serie de legende.
Una dintre aceste povestiri are legătură cu originea numelui pe care îl poartă insula. Se spune că, în timpul exilului său, poetul Ovidius Publius Naso se retrăgea pe acest petic de pământ pentru a-şi scrie versurile, astfel insula a fost botezată cu numele său.
În timpul şederii pe insulă, Ovidius ar fi scris operele „Tristele” şi „Ponticele”, în care se regăsesc elemente din viaţa şi obiceiurile oamenilor de aici. Locul exact al mormântului lui Ovidiu nu este cunoscut, însă puţinele izvoare istorice indică această insulă unde a fost înmormântat poetul şi care îi poartă acum numele.
În realitate, specialiştii nu au găsit nicio dovadă care să ateste prezenţa poetului Ovidius pe această mica insulă din lacul Siutghiol. Cu toate acestea, legenda a rămas în picioare până în zilele noastre şi mai există încă oameni care cred cu tărie în veridicitatea ei.
În secolele trecute insula era populată de pescari care îşi construiau aici adăposturi, dar şi de grădinari care profitau de solul fertil al insulei. Odată cu identificarea potenţialului său turistic, insula lui Ovidius a fost transformată într-un loc de relaxare pentru turişti, păstrându-şi această întrebuinţare şi astăzi.
