Moldova my love

I decided to make this

Powerpoint
Presentation to
present my country-
Moldova.This part of
world is full of
miracles and beautiful
places.’’Moldova is a
country where dreams
come true, a place
where fairy tales turn
into reality…’’-Such
impressions have
those who were lucky
to discover this small
land.
 Orheiul Vechi

. Just an hour outside of Chisinau is

Orheiul, or Old Orhei, Moldova’s most
incredible sight. It’s an archaeological
complex with rich cultural and
historical significance.  It’s also a place
of stunning natural beauty.
Overlooking the Raut River, this open-
air complex features fortifications,
baths, caves, ruins, and monasteries –
all which date back as late as the
Dacian tribes of 2000 years ago. The
ancient monuments date from various
periods including the Tatar and
Mongol invasions, the 10th century BC,
and more recently the occupation of
the Golden Horde in the 14th century.
Because of the unusualness of the
area, a museum has been built that
offer exhibits and provide information
and context for such a unique place
 Cricova Winery

A quick 30 minutes from Chisinau

is Cricova Winery.  The second
largest underground winery in the
world; it is definitely something to
experience.  You’ll find 120
kilometres of complex roadways
above ground and an elaborate
tunnel system underground which
has been in place since the 15th
century when the limestone was
dug out to build Chisinau. This
wonderful “wine city” includes
warehouses, underground tasting
rooms, and guided tours. You’ll
travel 100 metres below ground
and have a look at what 1.25
million bottles of wine looks like.
The wine industry is growing in
Moldova, which means that it’s
worth bringing a bottle or two
home.
 Capriana

Sitting in a lush green forest in

Capriana is one of the oldest
monasteries in Moldova.  Founded in
the 15th century by Alexander the
Good, it was once the home of the
Moldavian bishop as well as Chiprian,
one of the first Moldavian poets.  It
houses the largest convent library in
the country and after years of neglect,
was reopened in 1989 as a symbol of
national revival. While you’re there,
you can make some stops nearby to
visit the oak tree of Stefan the Great
and Codru, the oldest nature reserve in
the country.
Padurea Domneasca (Royal
Forest) Natural Reservation

Founded in 1993, this is the largest

natural reserve in Moldova and is
located in Glodeni. Here you’ll find the
country’s oldest stand of old-growth
oak tree where the oldest oak is
estimated to be about 450 years old. 
Nature lovers will enjoy the many bird
species with the most notable being
the herons that nest near the river. 
Discover the area known as “One
Hundred Hills,” a landscape of rolling
knolls – that no one understands how
they were formed. Padurea
Domneasca is a great way to spend a
day outdoors with Mother Nature.
  Manastirea Curchi

This monastery wins the award for the

most beautiful in all of Moldova.  The
complex is made up of five churches, a
refectory, several abbeys, and monk
cells.  Its beauty comes from the
Bessarabia architectural style. The
centrepiece for the complex is the
Mother of God Church, built at the end
of the 19th century. After you’ve
explored the grounds and learnt about
the unique history of the monastery (it
was once a psychiatric hospital during
the Soviet era) enjoy a nice stroll
through the orchards.
  Soroca

Soroca has played a large and

important role throughout Moldova’s
history due to its location on the
Dniestre River. During wars and sieges,
armies were able to defend the
country well from this vantage point. 
The highlight is Soroca Fortress, one in
a chain of military strongholds built as
early as the 14th century by princes
looking to fortify their position against
invaders.  Because of the large Roma
community here, Soroca is the
unofficial Roma capital.  For fun, walk
by the mansions of the Roma elite that
line the streets of the city centre.
