🔊 Listen to this Post Mangalia (Turkish: Mankalya), ancient Callatis (other historical names: Pangalia, Panglicara, Tomisovara), is a city and a port on the coast of the Black Sea in the south-east of Constanța County, Northern Dobruja, Romania.

The municipality of Mangalia also administers several summertime seaside resorts: Cap Aurora, Jupiter, Neptun, Olimp, Saturn, Venus.

Among the tourist attractions are:

• The city has been well known in recent years as the place where one of the largest summer festivals in Romania takes place: Callatis Festival;
• The Scythian tomb discovered in 1959 where archaeologists unearthed fragments of a papyrus in Greek, the first document of this kind in Romania;
• The incineration tombs (the necropolis of the Callatis citadel, dating back to the 4th-2nd centuries BC);
• The ruins of the Callatis citadel (6th century BC);
• The Turkish Esmahan Sultan Mosque (16th century);
• The Archaeology Museum which shelters a rich collection of amphorae and sculptures from the Hellenistic epoch, fragments of stone sarcophagi;
• Mangalia Marina

A Roman Byzantine building has been excavated against the city wall and next to a street paved with big limestone tiles and which has a channel on its longitudinal axis. It is composed of an atrium with a complex system for collecting rainwater, a palace composed of monumental halls with columns and a basilica. It was probably a bishop’s palace.
