About
The site of Limanu in Constanța County, Romania, is notable for its historical village structures and the intriguing Titans Cave. The village of 2 Mai, established in 1887 by Mihail Kogălniceanu, and Vama Veche, founded in 1811 by Gagauz families, reflect the area's diverse cultural history. The Titans Cave, identified by some historians as Limanu Cave, holds significant archaeological interest due to its association with ancient legends of the Titans. This cave, described as a refuge during the mythical battles of the gods, suggests a strategic use of natural formations for defense. The site's archaeological significance is further enhanced by its location near the Black Sea, providing insights into historical settlement patterns and cultural exchanges in the region.
