The Scythian tomb discovered in 1959 where archaeologists unearthed fragments of a papyrus in Greek, the first document of this kind in Romania; the incineration tombs (the necropolis of the Callatis citadel, dating back to the 4th-2nd centuries BC); the ruins of the Callatis citadel (6th century BC); the Turkish Mangalia Mosque (16th century); the Archaeology Museum which shelters a rich collection of amphorae and sculptures from the Hellenistic epoch, fragments of stone sarcophagi, etc.
A special place called Killer is found near a meteorological checkpoint. This is a place popular among more bohemian couples, a romantic and spectacular place in winter and summer. The Moon rises with a red colour from the Black Sea at nights in the summer, and in winter at Killer the biggest waves can be found. Actually this is the reason why this place is called Killer: the giant waves that sweep the whole seawall during the winter.
The city has been known in recent years as the place where the largest festival in Romania takes place: Callatis Festival.
