Old Orhei Archeological Complex
Our tour guide will arrange an excursion to Orheiul Vechi situated in a picturesque setting (Applied to become the UNESCO World Heritage). 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 called St. Maria Dormata which was expanded and modified inside the cliffs by monks over the centuries. At Orheiul Vechi, within the ethnographic museum, you can visit a traditional 19th-century Moldovan household. We also visit the “Saint Mary” church, which is in fact the cave monastery at Butuceni and is part of the Orheiul Vechi cave monastery complex. We visit the Craftsman’s House — a place that will immerse you in the traditional Moldovan atmosphere and acquaint you with local handicrafts.
