Herghelia Mangalia

The Mangalia Stud Farm, on the edge of the town of Mangalia in Constanța County, is one of the oldest and most prestigious stud farms in Romania, a true sanctuary of purebred Arabian horses. Founded in the early 20th century, the farm specialised in breeding and improving the Arabian, producing over the decades horses of internationally recognised value, prized for their elegance, endurance and nobility. Here visitors can admire horses of rare beauty in the paddocks and stables, watch presentations and, on certain occasions, auctions and equestrian competitions that draw connoisseurs from around the world.

The atmosphere of the place, with its tree-lined alleys and period buildings, blends the tradition of breeding with the charm of a quiet walk. The stud farm is an important chapter of Romania's equine heritage. Practical note: check the visiting schedule and any equestrian events, and if you are keen on horses, choose a guided visit to learn the history of the Arabian breed raised here.
