. City Highlights Iasi is the most important political, economic and cultural centre of the province of Moldavia as well as one of the oldest cities in Romania. Located in the northeastern part of the country, Iasi was for many centuries the crossing point of the most important commercial routes linking Poland, Hungary, Russia and Constantinople. Deeply rooted in history, Iasi has been the main centre of Moldavian culture since 1408. The city prides itself with publishing the first Romanian newspaper and establishing the first Romanian university. Today, Iasi is home to five universities.

Over the past 500 years, history, culture and religious life have molded the city's unique character. Iasi boasts an impressive number of Orthodox churches, almost 100, most of them located in the so-called Golden Plateau (Platoul de Aur). The oldest, the Princely Saint Nicholas Church, dates from the reign of Stephen the Great (Stefan cel Mare, 1457-1504). The finest, however, are the 17th century St. Paraschiva Metropolitan Cathedral and Trei Ierarhi Church, the last a curious example of Byzantine art, erected in 1635-1639 by Vasile Lupu. Its outer walls and twin towers are intricately carved in what many think of as stone lace.

In 1639, Vasile Lupu spent Moldavia's budget for the following year and a half to acquire the relics of St. Paraschiva from Constantinopole. The relics were moved to the Metropolitan Cathedral in 1889 after a fire damaged the Trei Ierarchi Church where they had originally been placed. The cathedral still uses one of the original bells in its northeast spire. Inside the bell, an inscription says it was made from four cannons captured from the Turkish army in the War of 1828-1829. Nearby stands the 18th century Old Metropolitan Church of St. George (Biserica Sfantul Gheorghe).

Every October 14, pilgrims from all corners of Romania and neighboring countries flock to Iasi to kneel before the blue and gold bier containing the relics of Saint Paraschiva, the patron saint of the cathedral. Church of the Three Hierarchs (Biserica Sfantilor Trei Ierarhi) Address: Str. Stefan cel Mare 62 Open: Daily 9 a.m.

Admission charge The Church of the Three Hierarchs (constructed 1637 - 1639) is highlighted as a must-see in every guidebook. Nothing can prepare you, though, for its stunning ornate decoration: the entire exterior of the church is covered in delicate and intricate patterns sculpted into the stone and spread over 30 friezes. This 'stone embroidery' is a mixture of western gothic, Renaissance and Oriental motifs. In 1934, Greta Garbo spent some time here in secret during her love affair with John Gilbert. Address: Piata Unirii 1 Built in neoclassical style in 1879 by an engineer, G. Fragneau, who worked with G. In Paris (yes, the Eiffel who designed the Eiffel Tower), the hotel was one of the first in Europe to be molded on a metal frame.

Politia Iasi

Throughout the years, many foreign diplomats and other personalities have stayed at the Traian. Ticau District (Cartierul Ticau) Address: Opposite to Copou Park Fans of quaint streets will enjoy this old residential quarter spread out over the hilly side of Iasi, with vine-choked houses and sleepy roads.

From there, take the scenic route along Strada Lapusneanu, Piata Unirii and Strada Cuza Voda. Banu Church (Biserica Banu) Address: Str.

Banu 9 The Banu Church (built in 1705; rebuilt in 1799) is an interesting example of urban architecture that combines baroc and classicism. Iasi - cultural breeding ground The beginnings of higher education in Iasi date from the reign of Vasile Lupu (1634-1653). In 1640, Lupu founded an academy at the Three Hierarchs Monastery. In the 18th century, a Royal Academy was established in one of the buildings attached to the Metropolitan Cathedral. The institution was closed down by the Ottomans after the Greek Revolution of 1821, but Gheorghe Asachi reopened it under the name of The Vasilian Gymnasium seven years later.

Politia Iasi Pasapoarte

In 1835, it was renamed The Mihailean Academy and had three sections: Philosophy, Law and Theology, as well as two special courses, Polytechnic Sciences and Economy. In 1860, Alexander Ioan Cuza founded the University of Iasi. Today, this university is comprised of 26 colleges and eight research institutes of the Romanian Academy. The Old Iasi University (Vechea Universitate) Address: Blvd. Independentei 35 Commissioned by Ioan Cantacuzino between 1760 and 1765, the Old University Palace was badly damaged during a fire in 1795. Later renovated and converted into a royal residence, it remained in royal use until 1806.

The stone arch in front of the palace dates from this period. On it, you can see the Moldavian coat of arms and a Cyrillic inscription spelling out the words the door of hope. In 1860, the building became home to the newly established University of Iasi and to the first public art collection in the country. Today, it houses the Medicine and Pharmacy College.

Iasi University - Copou Hill (Universitatea Alexandru Ioan Cuza) Address: Blvd. 11 The main university building was built between 1893 and 1897 on the site of the Great Theatre which had burned down. The Hall of the University, known as The Hall of the Lost Footsteps, served as a parliamentary debating chamber between 1917 and 1918. In 1967, the painter Sabin Balasa created a series of strongly romanticized frescoes for the arcades. Central University Library (Biblioteca Centrala Universitara Mihai Eminescu) Address: Str. Pacurari 4 Located at the base of Copou Hill, this triangular building with Doric columns and cupola was built between 1930 and 1935 to serve as the headquarters of King Ferdinand's Cultural Foundation.

The building was decorated with Carrara marble and Venetian mosaics. By 1945, the Foundation library had become one of the biggest in the country with more than 300,000 volumes. Today, the library is the largest in Moldavia, with a great number of manuscripts and old books from the 15th to the 19th centuries. Historic Churches Golia Monastery (Manastirea Golia) Address: Str. Cuza Voda 51 Open: daily from sunrise to sunset Free admission The unusual name of the monastery came from Moldavian Chancellor Ioan Golai who founded it in 1564. The church was rebuilt in 1650 by Vasile Lupu who employed Italian master craftsmen. The compound's walls and towers were added in 1667.

While the exterior walls show Renaissance influence, mainly with their Corinthian pilasters, the interior features vibrant Byzantine frescoes and intricately carved doorways. The upper part of the church seems to belong to another edifice. It was built during the rein of Stefanita Lupu, son of Vasile Lupu, who found inspiration in Russian architecture. However, this section collapsed during a 1738 earthquake and was rebuilt in baroque style by the Phanariot ruler, Constantin Mavrocordat. The monastery was visited by Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, in 1711.

It also served for a short period of time as the burial place for the viscera of Prince Grigori Alexandrovich Potemkin, Catherine the Great's favorite. Climbing the 102 steps to the monastery's 'Golia Tower' offers visitors a magnificent bird's-eye view of the city. The Princely Saint Nicholas Church (Biserica Sfantul Nicolae Domnesc) Address: Str. Anastasie Panu 65, Iasi Open: daily 8 a.m. To sunset Free admission The oldest church in Iasi, Saint Nicholas Church was founded by Stefan cel Mare in 1492. Situated near the princely court, the church was for centuries the place where Moldavian rulers were anointed, therefore, gaining its 'royal' status. Restored by Prince Antonie Roset in 1677, it was completely renovated by the French architect Andre Lecomte du Nouy between 1885 and 1897.

Jewish Iasi In the 19th century, Iasi was one of the great Eastern European centres of Jewish learning, famous for its scholarly rabbis, intellectuals and skilled craftsmen, as well as for its Jewish schools, hospitals, publications and other organizations. In 1855, the city was the home of the first-ever Yiddish-language newspaper, Korot Haitim, and was the birthplace of the Israeli national anthem. The world's first professional Yiddish-language theatre was opened here in 1876 by Avram Goldfaden, who later founded New York's first Jewish theatre. From 1949 to 1964, Iasi was also home to a second company of the State Jewish Theatre.

Jewish merchants from Poland settled here in the 15th century and their numbers swelled with further waves of Russian-Jewish and Galician-Jewish immigration into Moldavia. By 1930, there were over 30,000 Jews and some 127 synagogues. Today, only two synagogues remain open. During the early years of World War II, Iasi was the scene of a pogrom by the Iron Guard, a nationalist Fascist organization. The majority of the city's Jewish population was killed or deported. A monument to the victims of the 1941 pogrom was erected outside the Great Synagogue. The Great Synagogue (Sinagoga Mare) Address: Str.

Sinagogilor 7 The Great Synagogue of Iasi is the oldest surviving Jewish prayer house in Romania and the second oldest synagogue in Europe. It was founded in 1670, reportedly at the initiative of Rabbi Nathan (Nata) ben Moses Hannover, religious leader of Iasi's Jewish community in the 1660s and author of Yeven. Located on Synagogues Street (so dubbed because of the many synagogues once found here) in the old Jewish neighborhood of Targu Cucului, the synagogue was built in an eclectic style with strong late baroque influences. Since its foundation in the second half of the 17th century, the Great Synagogue has undergone a number of major renovations. Although called 'the great,' the size of the synagogue is actually very modest. The floor is located below street level in keeping with a widespread tradition found in many Central and Eastern European synagogues. Jewish religious tradition requires that synagogues should be the highest buildings in their neighborhoods but because Jews were not permitted to build high structures for their prayer houses, lowering the floor of synagogues represented an ingenious compromise between the two demands by creating an interior that is higher than the exterior elevation of the building.

It also serves as a reminder of Psalm 130 ('de profundis'): 'Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, o Lord'. Today, the Great Synagogue continues to serve the Jewish community of Iasi. It has been recognized as a historical monument. Iasi Jewish Cemetery Cimitirul Evreiesc Iasi Address: Sos. Pacurari (bus and trolleybus connections from Piata Eminescu) Open daily Admission charge Iasi Jewish Cemetery is located just outside the city, on Dealul Munteni (Munteni Hill).

Art Museum Iasi (Muzeul de Arta) The art collection began with a set of oil paintings purchased at a Parisian auction in 1845. The official opening took place in 1860 at the Old University Palace and in 1955, the museum moved to its current location in the Palace of Culture. An excellent collection of Romanian paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries vividly illustrates Moldavian rural life and its landscape. Nicolae Grigorescu's Car cu Boi (Ox Cart), Theodor Amann's Hora de peste Olt (The Village Dance) and Octav Bancila's Batran Croitor (Old Jewish Tailor) are some of the collection's highlights.

Copou has been a favorite place in Iasi for late afternoon strolls or morning walks since the second half of the 17th century. In 1834, Copou became the city's first public garden and in 1860, street lamps were installed for the first time. Allegedly, it was here, under his favorite linden tree, that the Romanian National Poet, Mihai Eminescu (1850-1889), wrote some of his best work.

Angajari Politia Iasi

Construction of the monastery was carried out by Prince Gheorghe Duca between 1669 and 1672. The church was laid out to the same plan as the Trei Ierarhi Church; thanks to the many restorations, it has kept its original form.

In addition to the church, the monastery has preserved a gothic hall, a museum of medieval art and its famous wine cellars with wine obtained from its own vineyard. Galata Monastery (Manastirea Galata) Address: Str. Manastirii 4 Open: daily 8 a.m. sunset Free admission Erected in the 16th century by Prince Petru Schiopul, Galata Monastery was named after the quarter in Constantinople where Moldavian princes resided while waiting for confirmation of their reign from Ottoman headquarters. The only building preserved here in its original form is the church of the Resurrection of the Lord, built in 1594.

Combining both traditional Moldavian and Walachian Byzantine architectural elements, Galata's church served as a model for the churches of Trei Ierarhi Monastery and Dragomirna Monastery (1608-1609). The latter is located a few miles north of the Moldavian city of Suceava.

Galata is a Turkish name and its English equivalent is 'gateway.' With fortification walls and an impressive entrance tower, Galata has the complex plan of medieval Moldavian churches, comprised of a porch and a tomb room along with the usual pronaos, naos and altar. It also has a special vaulting system for the towers consisting of one square placed diagonally over another. The church's original paintings have not been preserved, having been destroyed by a fire in 1762. Only a few fragments of fresco remain. Frumoasa Monastery (Manastirea Frumoasa) Address: Str. Radu Voda 1 Open: Daily 8 a.m.

sunset Free admission Founded in 1726-33 by the ill-fated Grigore II Ghica (a Moldavian prince who ruled at four different intervals and was even exiled for a time), this monastery was left in ruin for decades. Restoration began in the 19th century, when neoclassical elements were added to its architectural style. Its name means 'beautiful.' Ruginoasa Palace (Palatul de la Ruginoasa) Location: 38 miles west of Iasi Tel: 0232 734.087 Open: Tue. Sun.: 9 a.m. Admission charge Ruginoasa Palace, white with gothic windows and lines, impresses its visitors today with the stories hidden within its walls, stories that point to Ruginoasa as a cursed palace in popular belief.

The superstition arose following the deaths, including a suicide, in the palace of several young people. Built in neoclassic style at the beginning of the 19th century by a Moldavian treasurer, Costache Sturdza, to the design of Viennese architect Johan Freiwald, it was later rebuilt in neogothic style. The palace was best known as the summer residence of Prince, and ruler of the United Principalities, Alexandru Ioan Cuza, who bought it in 1862. His wife, Elena Cuza, made Rugionoasa Palace her permanent home and the original furniture ordered from her sketches at the renowned furniture company, Mazaroz, in Paris has been preserved and is on display in the museum.

In 1982, the Palace became the Alexandru Ioan Cuza Memorial Museum in commemoration of the first ruling prince of modern Romania. Although Alexandru Ioan Cuza died in exile, his remains were brought back to Ruginoasa and buried in the chapel.

They were held here until the beginning of World War II, when the coffin was moved first to Curtea de Arges, and then to the Trei Ierarhi Church in Iasi. The museum reconstructs the atmosphere of life on the Ruginoasa estate as it was in the 19th century: the family library with books brought from Paris; the oak desk, the gothic dining room with Sevres china and Baccarat crystal, all bearing the arms of the United Principalities, and the bedroom of Princess Elena Cuza. Amidst the beautiful gardens surrounding the palace sits a neoclassical chapel built by Sandulache Sturdza in 1811.

Cotnari Vineyards (Podgorile Iasi) Location: 32 miles NW of Iasi Tel: 0232 730.296 How to get here: Three daily trains from Iasi to Harlau stop at Cotnari (1 ¾ hours). Thousands of pilgrims gather here every year to worship a 600-year-old icon of the Virgin Mary, believed to have miraculous powers. The monastery is home to one of the oldest libraries in the country (more then 600 years old) as well as a museum illustrating the vivid cultural life that lasted here for centuries. A school of miniature painting and calligraphy was set up by monk Gavril Uric. One of the most famous manuscripts created by Uric's pupils is a 1429 parchment copy of the Four Gospels, now located in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England.

Agapia Monastery Location: 65 miles west of Iasi (2 ½ miles south of Targu Neamt) Hot to get here: Bus from Targu Neamt and Piatra Neamt Located in a lovely setting at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, this picturesque nuns' monastery (also known as Agapia in the Valley or Agapia din Vale in Romanian) was built by Hatman Gavril Coci between 1642 and 1644. However, its current neoclassical facade dates from the reconstruction period at the turn of the 19th century. The church's interior, featuring stunningly vivid portraits with eyes that seem to follow the viewer, was painted between 1858 and 1861 by the famous Romanian artist, Nicolae Grigorescu, when he was just 18. The name of the monastery comes from the Greek word agape, meaning 'love.'

Christian scholars argue that the use of the word agapo in the New Testament refers to God's love for humanity. Agapia Monastery is renowned for its carpet and embroidery workshops. To forego closure during the communist period, Agapia's nuns wove carpets for the dictatorship's mega-structure (now the Palace of Parliament) in Bucharest. Today, the textile workshops mainly produce carpets, wall hangings and rugs for religious purposes, but they do have commercial sales and visitors are welcome.

A small museum (Open: Mon - Sun 9:00am - 5:00pm) displays 16th, 17th and 18th century painted icons, gold and silver embroidered garments, cedar and ebony crosses and old manuscripts (the library boasts some 12,000 volumes), as well as Moldavian-style carpets woven in the monastery workshops. You also can admire fragments from the original 17th century iconostasis signed by N. Grigorescu, who left his self-portrait here in the figure of Daniel, one of the saints in the upper left-hand side of the iconostasis. Varatec Monastery Location: 68 miles west of Iasi (6 ½ miles south of Targu Neamt) How to get here: Bus from Targu Neamt. The grave of Veronica Micle, the love of Romania's National Poet, Mihai Eminescu, lies within the monastery. Eminescu, best known for his 96- stanza ballad of love, Luceafarul (The Evening Star), couldn't afford to marry Veronica so poured out his grief on paper, thus, creating the masterpiece. Veronica committed suicide on August 4, 1889, two months after Eminescu's death.

The monastery dates from 1785, when a nun, Olimpiada, laid the foundations of this monastic establishment. Set amid a lovely garden shaded by cedars, the whitewashed monastery is home to some 600 nuns today. Throughout the years, many writers, poets and scholars came here to take in the beauty of the environment, the hospitality of the nuns and villagers alike and the propitious atmosphere for rest, meditation and creative work. Many of the nuns who entered Varatec came from noble families, bringing with them valuable art and religious objects, some of which are on display in the monastery's museum. Varatec has active carpet weaving, embroidery and icon painting workshops. Piatra Neamt Location: 78 miles southwest of Iasi (25 miles south of Targu Neamt) How to get here: Train or bus from Iasi Beautifully situated in the forested foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, Piatra Neamt is another historic Moldavian town and one of Romanian's oldest settlements. The area has been inhabited since Neolithic times.

In the 15th century, Stephen the Great established a princely court here. Although many of the old sections of this picturesque town were razed to the ground under the communist regime, several interesting attractions still stand. Piatra Neamt makes a nice base for exploring the Ceahlau Mountains. John the Baptist Church (Biserica Sf.

Ioan Botezatorul) - dating from 1 497-1498 Stephen's Tower (Turnul lui Stefan) - built in 1499 during Stephen the Great's reign The History Museum - housing the Cucuteni collection, the largest collection of Neolithic artifacts in southeastern Europe Hasmas - Bicaz Gorges National Park & Ceahlau National Park (Cheile Bicazului & Masivul Ceahlau) Location: 100 miles west of Iasi How to get here: Daily bus and train service from Iasi and Piatra Neamt The road that slices through the Bicaz Gorges (Cheile Bicazului) is among Romania's most staggering and spectacular. The gorge twists and turns steeply uphill for three miles, cutting through sheer 1,000-foot limestone cliffs on its journey through the mountains. For hikers, kayakers and fly-fishing enthusiasts, the Hasmas - Bicaz National Park's main attraction is the Red Lake (Lacul Rosu), created in 1837 after a major natural landslide. Short and long walks provide access to the lake's spectacular scenery and many fishing spots. The Bicaz Gorges offer a unique view of the Ceahlau Massif. Surrounded by watercourses and lakes, Ceahlau Mountain, the Olympus of Romania (it was considered to be the sacred mountain of Zalmoxis, the god of the Dacians), displays an incredible concentration of rare species and wildlife.

Over 2,000 flower species, fossil limestone, the rock formations Dochia and Cusma Dorobantului, and the Duruitoarea Falls are some of the highlights of the park.
