The work of the famous Italian sculptor Ettore Ferrari, it is an emblematic statue of the city and probably the most important monument of Constanța.

The statue was unveiled in August 1887 in the presence of local personalities of the time and represented a festive event for the entire city. The bronze statue depicts the writer Ovidiu in a meditative pose, and the text is inscribed on its plinth:

"Under this stone lies Ovidiu the singer
Tender lovers robbed of their talent.
Oh, what are you doing here and if you have ever loved
He prays for the dance that his sleep will be peaceful."

As a reaction against the long Ottoman rule over Dobrogea, which stifled the national consciousness for centuries, the Romanian authorities and intellectuals in Constanţa emphasized immediately after obtaining independence, the idea of the Romanianness of this territory. In this atmosphere of national revival, the figure of the poet Ovidiu appears as a symbol of Romanian permanence over the centuries. Expressing this state of mind, the first prefect of Constanța county, Remus N. Opreanu, took the initiative to immortalize through a monument, the memory of the exiled poet in Tomis.
