Orheiul Vechi & Curchi Monastery Tour
Overview of the tour in Chisinau
We will start the tour with one of the most beautiful monasteries in Moldova, the “Curchi” Monastery. This is a real pearl of our religious life. Here, you’ll visit some churches, and among them, the “Virgin’s Assumption” Cathedral, built by the drawings of genius architect Bartolomeo Rastrelli.
After the monastery, we will continue with the Orheiul Vechi region. Here, you will have the opportunity to visit the most interesting archaeological site housing the ruins of two cities (14th -16th century). Tatars settled here on their expansion to Western Europe.
Continue with a visit to the well-maintained Orthodox Cave Monastery, which was expanded and modified inside the cliffs by monks over the centuries. Christian churches provide magnificent scenery through the windows of the monastery, which still functions today.
Give yourself one hour of free time for lunch in Butuceni village.
