Consiliul Județean Constanța a cumpărat terenul hipogeului roman de pe strada Sabinelor

The Constanța County Council has purchased land on Sabinelor Street, where a unique Roman hypogeum from the 4th century was discovered. The council exercised its preemptive right, negotiating the price down from €455,000 to €350,000. This acquisition aims to establish a museum dedicated to early Christianity in Dobrogea, funded by European resources. The hypogeum, part of the late Roman necropolis of Tomis, features a cross-shaped plan and is notable for its size and decorative elements. The council's decision marks a significant step in preserving historical heritage, as it brings the site into public ownership, ensuring its protection and future accessibility for tourism. The next steps include securing funding for conservation and museum construction, while the classification process for the hypogeum as a national monument is ongoing.
