Mangalia

Mangalia is best known in Romania for the ancient Greek city of Callatis, whose remains lie beneath and around the modern Black Sea resort. Founded by settlers from Heraclea Pontica in the 6th century BC, Callatis developed into an important trading port and later became part of the Roman world. The Archaeological Museum Callatis preserves finds from this long urban history, while the 16th-century Esmahan Sultan Mosque recalls the town’s Ottoman-era community. Set on Romania’s southern Black Sea coast, Mangalia also has a working harbour and lies close to the Bulgarian border.
