Get ready for an exciting excursion. You will discover the Curchi Monastery, the historical site of Orhei Vechi, and its troglodyte monastery. Orheiul Vechi is a spectacular archaeological complex located 60km from Chişinău. The panorama is breathtakingly beautiful. Beyond the impressive natural landscape, a group of troglodyte caves, hosting the oldest monasteries and sacred places, combines the history of the Golden Horde period and today, revealing ruins of palaces, citadels, dwellings, giving visitors ample information on a history that extends from the 10th century BC to the present day.
