Constanta

Understand

Constanta, the second largest city with its 350,000 inhabitants, was founded by the Greeks as a port on the Black sea for trading with inland people and called Tomis (VIth C. BC). The city was renamed later after Constantia, sister of Constantine the Great (274-337). It was still a flourishing port city in the Xth and XIth centuries trading with the Byzantine Empire and the city of Genoa.

    North Dobrogean Monasteries Delight - Celic Dere, Cocos, Niculitel 8 hours

    The Danube Delta, Romania

    These are some of the places dripping with history and filled with fascinating objects of religious art combining the Orthodox and Old Russian traditions which you will visit today.

    Celic Dere Monastery ("Steel Brook", in the Turkish language) was established as a monastic settlement in 1841 by Romanian and Russian monks. The museum of the monastery contains various religious objects, a rich collection of old books, antique handmade carpets, and the oldest icon in Romania, brought from Mt. Athos in Greece.

    Cocos Monastery was established in 1833. Besides the impressive collections of fine and decorative art, archeological finds, and old coins, it shelters the bones of the oldest Christian martyrs discovered in Europe.

    The Niculitel Church represents a paleo-Christian monument in Niculitel village. It was built in AD 370 during the reign of the emperor Valerius. In 1971, a violent rain washed away the earth concealing the church, revealing a unique monument, a crypt that houses the bones of four Christian martyrs (Zotikos, Attalos, Kamasis and Phillipos). Their four coffins can now be seen at Cocos Monastery.
