Capriana Monastery
First we'll go to visit Capriana Monastery complex. The Căpriana Monastery is one of the oldest monasteries in the Republic of Moldova. It was founded in the 15th century and has served as an important spiritual and cultural center over the centuries. The monastery was supported by several Moldavian rulers, including Stephen the Great. During the Soviet Union, the monastery was closed but was reopened after the fall of the communist regime and has been restored. Today, the Căpriana Monastery is an important pilgrimage site and a symbol of Moldova's cultural and religious heritage.
