This is an all-time-record and exceeds with 8.64 % the total freight shipped through the Romanian sea ports in 2018, which was around 61.3 million tons.

Notably, the previous record was registered in 1988, with 62.3 million tons of goods. This means Romania only now reached the capacity of sea freight transport it has before the Romanian Revolution.

The largest share of the total goods transported were cereals (32%), which was expected, as Romania is one of the top cereal exporting countries in Europe. In fact, Romanian sea ports registered a commercial traffic of more than 21 million tons, which strengthens Romania’s position as a cereal hub in Europe.

The building is a historical one, in fact. Beyond its beauty, the history of it is more fascinating: it was inaugurated on a Saint Mary Day, August 15, 1910, in the presence of His Majesty Prince Ferdinand, later the king of Romania.

15 of August is a religious celebration close related to the sea, as Virgin Mary is considered to be the very saint of the sailors. Though inaugurated on a religious holiday, the casino kept its original destination for a long time. The “sinners” kept on spinning the roulette, interrupted only by the two World Wars and later by the communists who transformed the casino into a cultural house.

A masterpiece of the Art Nouveau style and once named Romania’s Monte Carlo, Constanta Casino is to be renovated in two years. In 2022 Constanta Casino will be the most beautiful building on the Black Sea coast, as it was once.
