Constanţa is a transportation junction. It has an airport, and pipelines from the Ploie§ti region pass through it. In 1970 the freight turnover of the port was more than 12.5 million tons. Outgoing freight includes oil products, cement, grain, and wood. Incoming freight includes machines, equipment, and apatites. There are large grain elevators, oil tanks, and warehouses. The city is the base of a sea-going fishing fleet. The main branches of industry are food processing (flour milling, baking of bread and rolls, meat packing, vegetable-oil extraction, fish canning, wine-making, fruit canning, and candy manufacture) and machine building (shipyards, auto repair and machine shops). There are enterprises of the wool, clothing, furniture, building materials, and pulp and paper industries. There is a heat and electric power plant producing 110,000 kilowatts. Industrial enterprises are concentrated in the southwestern part of the city near the rail-road station and the port. There are archaeological and art museums.

In the sixth century B.C., on the site of Constanta, Ionian Greeks founded the polis of Tomis, which was conquered by the Romans in 29 B.C. The Roman poet Ovid lived there in exile from A.D. 8 to A.D. 17. The emperor Constantine the Great (ruled from 306 to 337) changed the name of the city from Tomis to Constantiniana. From 1413 to 1878 the city was under the Ottoman yoke and was known as Kóstendje. In 1878 it was made part of Rumania.

The city is situated on a high coast and has broad, straight streets with plenty of green areas. After 1945 a railroad station, a theater, and a sports arena were built. The main highway and the port area were rebuilt.

Constanţa has remains of Hellenistic and Roman buildings, including a commercial building with a mosaic floor, dating from the second or third century. There are other remains of a Byzantine basilica of the fifth to sixth centuries, fortifications of the fifth to sixth centuries, and Turkish mosques dating from the 18th to 19th centuries.

Constanţa is the center of Rumania’s Black Sea health resorts. North and south of the city, health resort complexes are being built along a 50-km strip of the coast. The most important of these are the health resorts of Mamaia and Eforie, with their maritime climate and therapeutic muds.
