Visit to Tropaeum Traiani and Patrician Winetasting - Private

 

One of the most imposing ancient monuments in Romania, “Tropaeum Trajani” dates back to 109 AD and is a pretty unique site, in this part of Europe, located next to Adamclisi village. Just like Trajan’s Column in Rome, it represents a birth-certificate of the Romanian nation, depicting scenes from the armed conflicts between Rome and the Dacian Kingdom – Dacia. Built at the orders of Emperor Trajan by Apolodor of Damascus, to glorify the Romans’ victories against the peoples of Scythia Minor (present-day Dobrogea), the monument was decorated with 54 metopes representing a variety of scenes from the Roman campaigns in the Danube area and was 38m high. First you will see the 1977 restored version of Adamclisi Monument and you’ll proceed then to the Adamclisi Museum to see the original parts of the monument, most of the metopes, the ornamental statues and some other relics found in the area. You continue with a visit and a wine tasting at Patrician Wine-cellar, one of the best wine-places in the county of Constanta, where some excellent wines are made using modern bio-filtering technology. Here you will also enjoy a very authentic lunch and have the opportunity to also buy the wines you liked the most. Then, you return to Constanta and the hotel.
