Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the Esmahan Sultan Mosque in connection to the tombstone inscriptions from the building’s courtyard. Using as a starting point a summary table with the names and details of the deceased, the authors will refer to the demographic situation of the city during the 17th – 19th centuries, highlighting the consequences of the Russian-Turkish conflicts of the 19th century on the evolution of the population. As a historical source, there will be presented Ottoman maps used during the 19th century, showing the city of Mangalia and the main roads in the area of southern Dobrudja. The paper ends with the presentation of the plan and brief description of the oldest house in Mangalia, owned by the merchant Mehmet Hagi Ismail at the end of the 18th century.
