luxury houses for sale Constanța County, Romania

The old Constanța, with its historic peninsula, filled with stories and the past of an extraordinary city, is revealed to us today through its architectural richness and the urban eclecticism. Ovidiu Square - the former Independence Square, just like a cornerstone, gathered around and coordinated the development and systematization of the streets that span the Peninsula. Even if today the end of Nicolae Titulescu street towards the Square is hidden by a row of buildings built during the communist era, it once used to connect the central building to Elisabeth Boulevard. The modernization of the area began towards the end of the nineteenth century, so that, after 1910-1920, the streets between the Central Square and the Port were systematized. On Titulescu Street (former Lascăr Catargiu Street in the interwar period), we find a Neo-Romanian villa built in the 1920s. Located in the proximity of the Ovidiu Square, the building seems to have been built after the completion of the communal palace (1922, today the palace hosts the Museum of National History and Archaeology), due to the fact it reminds of the Neo-Romanian style (Neobrâncovenesc) so eloquent in the palace. In fact, the architect who designed the palace, Victor Ştefănescu, became Constanța’s house architect, supervising various other important projects: the Museum of Geology in Bucharest; The Palace of Arts in Carol Park, Ion Jalea Museum or even the Mosque Carol I in Constanta. We can assume that Ştefănescu could have been involved in the design of the present building, which is obviously integrated in the urban plan defined by the Mosque and the current Museum of History. The vintage photographs depict the Neo-Romanian Villa as a perspective of the former Lascăr Catargiu Street, the western part of the building being often reproduced in the postcards of that time. The house is located in the proximity of some emblematic buildings of the Peninsula, such as Hôtel d'Angleterre, Cabaret Britannia with Metropol Hotel, Carol I Mosque, Saint Anthony of Padua Church under the Roman - Catholic Parish of Constanța and St. Peter and Paul Cathedral.

Inaugurated on 12 of July 1914, the Palace Hotel had from the beginning the luxury necessary for its privileged category. From the very beginning and due to the contractual nature of its construction (to accommodate, at the required standing, those willing to play appreciable sums at the casino), the Palace Hotel had the most elegant facilities: 250 rooms or apartments, electric light, hot and cold water in each room, bathrooms on each floor, elevators for people and their luggage, hallways, correspondence room, smoking room, ice factory, omnibus-car service and the famous restaurant with Romanian-French cuisine. Through the amounts followed to be invested,the construction of the hotel was one of the most important clauses of the contract, In Alphonse Heitz's offer (to be returned to the municipality after 6 years of operation), the hotel becomes a reality (for its own use) through the efforts of Baron Edgard de Marçay and the Society of Great Establishments, although impediments and postponements are not lacking in the authentic Balkan way. Located in the most picturesque place on the Black Sea shores, the hotel is built in the eclectic style specific to the French Riviera. The main facade, designed symmetrically and monumentally, like the whole building, in fact, has as central element the entrance, flanked by two large consoles, provided at the top with Empire type garlands. Each level is individualized: the ground floor windows have a slightly arched arch, the first floor alternates balconies with hardware and masonry, the second floor has a rhythmic series of balconies with hardware on consoles, the following levels are separated by a frieze with Greek wave, and the semi-circular windows of the last level with small balconies and the same hardware, are flanked by massive consoles. The facade from the sea is higher, because the hotel follows the shore slope, introduces an asymmetrical element through the staircase that reaches the level of the key. Its impressive French neoclassical monumentality, the diversity of the quotations, based mainly on the Mediterranean tradition, gave Hotel Palace, the belonging to the category of modernity and not of traditionalism.

The modern development of Mamaia begins in 1906, when the first tourist Pavilions were built. In fact, these were the first-ever wooden spa cabins. The improvement of tourist access by building the railroad system was a major turning point in the way the resort developed in the following years, which was also influenced by the modernization of the Constanța harbor, which was constantly pushing the beach area towards the village north of the city. A series of unfortunate events, such as the devastation of the royal residence in Constanța during World War 1, and the destruction caused by the fire at the Constanța Pavilion (1920), provided an auspicious setting for major modernization works in the resort. The most significant contribution was made by the royal family who, after a donation made by the Constanța Town Hall, began building a summer residence in Mamaia. The construction of the complex started in the beginning of 1924, and was based on the plans of architect Mario Stoppa and on the ideas of Queen Mary; it was finished two years and a half later. After King Ferdinand passed away (July 1927), Queen Mary donated almost the entire complex to Queen Elena (December 1927), and only kept a 3000 sqm parcel for herself. The Queen built a holiday villa on the property, close in terms of style and design to the Tehna Juva Palace in Balchik, with a minaret and an open space towards the sea. Along the same style, on the other side of the royal complex, Barbu Știrbey, a close acquaintance of the Queen, built a residence that resembled the one Queen Mary had built, based on the plans of the same architect, Mario Stoppa; the structure was completed in 1930. 1930 can be regarded as an important year in the history of the residence, as this was the year it was built, as well as the year Știrbey was exiled after Carol II came to power. (June 7th 1930). Building Authorization no. 1016/02.11.2022, for repartitioning works, consolidations, interior and exterior fittings, attics.
