Roman mosaic
Behind the History & Archaeological Museum, Roman archaeological fragments spill onto the surrounding square. A 3rd-century Roman mosaic , discovered in 1959 and believed to have housed a commercial building is one of the highlights. A staircase led from the museum's lower terrace to the public Roman thermal baths , at the southern end of the cliff. Parts of its foundation remain today and are best viewed from Aleea Vasile Canarache.

History & Archaeological Museum
Constanţa's most renowned attraction is the History & Archaeological Museum . There's something here for everyone. The kids will like the bones of a 2nd-century woman and the mammoth tusks; otherwise there are many 2nd-century Roman statues (discovered under the old train station in 1962) and 4th-century Roman coins. The centrepiece is a fantastic sculpture of the snake god Glykon, which is carved from a single block of marble.
