Such an architectural jewel done by arh. Ion Berindei (he has lions in all his work), this building was home to an armenian trader. Later, it was lended to a less known local printer. It is said that one day, passing by this house, Zambaccian himself saw those paintings in such a wonderful place and fell in love with art. He later became one of the most famous art collectors in Romania. During comunism, The House with Lions was restaurated and became a restaurant. Unfortunately, nowadays awaits another restauration, being closed to the public.

Located in Constanta Peninsula, Emirzian house called the House with Lions due to four columns on whose capitals dominates the lions, hides many legends, in eager rivalry more misterious. By one of them is also bound the name of Krikor Zambaccian.

A nice piece of art. The house is degrading as speaking. Once a rich house of an armean merchandise, now waiting to be restaurated. In the vicinity you can also see a nice graffiti with Jesus Christ and other building with an interesting arhitecture.

Das Haus der Löwen wurde 1895-1902 von den reichen armenischen Händler Dicran Emirzian gebaut. Dieser hat zur damaligen Zeit auch einen Geschäft "La Luvru" in Zentrum von Constanta besessen, wo er Luxuswaren verkauft hat. Für die Planung und Durchführung der Arbeiten wurde der rumänische Architekt Ion Berindei beauftragt. Das Haus der Löwen wird von vier Löwen geschmückt, die oben auf den vier Eingangssäulen thronen und wurde in italienischen Neorenaissance-Stil mit neoklassizistischen Elementen gebaut. Ein wundervolles Haus, dass leider dem Verfall überlassen wird. Wie das Cazino Constanta werden diese tollen Kulturschätze sehr stiefmütterlich behandelt. Schade!

Impozanta clădire de la malul mării a fost construită după planurile arhitectului român Ion Berindei, între anii 1895 şi 1898. Numele clădirii, Casa cu lei, provine de la existenţa celor patru lei sculptaţi care tronează pe coloanele imobilului. Clădirea este amplasată în zona veche a Constanţei, în apropiere de Moscheea Carol I şi de Biserica Catolică, unde se află mai multe clădiri vechi, majoritatea fiind însă în stare avansată de degradare. Nici Casa cu lei nu face excepţie, clădirea fiind închisă de mai mulţi ani şi având nevoie de reparaţii capitale.

O clădire emblematică a Constanței, monument istoric lăsat să se degradeze. Arhitectura clădirii necesită restaurare. În prezent clădirea nu poate fi vizitată, însă exteriorul încă mai atrage turiștii prin aerul său de epocă burgheză.
