To the momment when picture war revealed i was sure you see it an 130 m.m. coastal defence gun, but... C-2 can be verry close to the true. He looks like an 88 Pak gun!

Anybody has an idea as to why that thing lies there, with presumably civilians on top of it? Did the Army just forget about those giants? Did the Army scrap them?

Those guns were used as coastal artillery. Initially used as AA guns, there were transferred to the Navy after SAM entered service.

No, as it was said before, it's a post-war AA gun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/130_mm_air_defense_gun_KS-30 |

Found this on google
http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:kNXI9...o&ct=clnk&gl=ro The KS-30 anti-aircraft guns of the Romanian Air Force became redundant in 1965, when the air defence units finished deploying the SA-2 Dvina. These guns, togheter with all associated vehicles and logistic support were transferred to the Navy, which used them to equip a coastal artillery unit. A typical battery had 8 guns. Three battery emplacements have been identified in Google Earth imagery so far, one protecting the entrance to Mangalia inlet, where a naval base and shipyard are located. The other two are positioned north and south of the strategically important Midia oil refinery. The unit operating these batteries was disbanded in 2001. A KS-30 gun is preserved at the Navy museum in Mangalia: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8811043 |

False alarm, dear Cipiamon. That place is "Muzeul Marinei Mangalia", west of the city, on the road to 2 Mai, Vama Veche... If I remember, yes, there they are guns, bombs, torpedoes, speedboat... Visit and enjoy !
