Summary/Abstract: For Constanța period of the settlers from Milet who founded the settlement called Tomis there are an impressive number of articles, studies and monographs. The Ottoman period did not receive the attention it deserved. The overlap of the modern city over the ancient ruins, as well as the interventions of the communist period have upset the archaeological contexts. Greater importance was given to the ancient period, being known the stages of evolution from the Roman or Greek period. The archaeological file for the Ottoman Kustendje or Köstence (Constanța) is very thin and the recent preventive archaeological research starts to add new data so necessary in the knowledge of the Ottoman heritage. At the State Military-Historical Archive of Russia in Moscow, some plans of Kustendje (Constanța) are kept. In our contribution we comment and publish some of these cartographic sources.
