Visiting the Aquarium in Constanta, Romania

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Last week while being at the AWSummit i wanted to also visit some places in Constanta City, so before i had my flight back, i took some time to just enjoy whatever the city had to offer.

One of the attraction there was the aquarium.

The Aquarium is set right at the seaside, in front of the big Casino (we will cover that in another post). It was first open on 1st May 1958 and was the first one of it's kind in Romania. The building that hosts it was build at the begining of XX century and was used as a restaurant.

In time the Constanta Aquarium gathered over 100 fish species and other marine life.

If i would have to pick a favorite from what i saw there, i think the Leopard Moray wins. It was absolutely stunning to see him move around. So yeah, if you ever get the chance to visit it, don't miss it.
