On the banks of the Dniester stands the old Soroca Fortress. It rises above the cliff
with four round towers and a twenty-meter-high chapel.
• The fortress of Soroca was built as a defensive fortification against the
predatory Tatar hordes, which invaded Moldova through the Dniester
crossings. Soroca was not a large fortress with two rows of walls, like
Suceava, Chetatya Albe or Khotyn, but only a small fortification, a castle
for sheltering guards against the Tatars.
