The poet Ovid was exiled here by Augustus — 2000 years later, the crumbling casino is Romania's most photographed ruin

Romania's Black Sea port city with a mosaic Roman floor, a belle-époque casino crumbling on the seafront, and a statue of the poet Ovid who was exiled here by Emperor Augustus in 8 AD. Art nouveau buildings line the pedestrian centre. The casino — once glorious, now a magnificent ruin — is the most photographed building in Romania.
