Medgidia, a city in Constanța County, Romania, boasts a documented history stretching over 5,000 years.  Archaeological evidence suggests the area was inhabited since the Neolithic period.  The Romans later administered the region, building a castrum (fort) in the Carasu Valley that laid the foundation for the current settlement.  In the 15th century, a Muslim population began to settle in the area.

The modern city of Medgidia was established by the Ottoman administration in the mid-19th century.  Intended to serve as an economic hub for central Dobruja and a refuge for Crimean War refugees, the town was named after Sultan Abdülmecid I.

While Medgidia may not have a booming nightlife scene, visitors can explore nearby Constanța for a livelier experience.  Zig Zag Pub offers a cozy atmosphere and entertainment, while El Comandante is a great place to relax with a coffee.
