The ancient city Old Orhei – a unique natural and historical complex in the open air.
It organically combines the natural landscape and vestiges of ancient civilizations. As a result of enormous archeological excavations here there were discovered the cultural layers of different epochs such as - the Paleolithic, Eneolithic, and Iron Age.

The culture of geto-dacs of Early and Late Middle Ages is represented by the rests of earthen and wooden fortresses of geto-dacs period and the traces of two medieval towns - Shehr al-Djedid town of the Golden Horde period and the Moldovan town Orhei.

Since the medieval times an orthodox cave monastery "Virgins Assumption» of the XII century has been preserved. Today the cave church is open for tourists all year around.
By the monastery you can visit the "Peasants’ Yard" museum (XIX cent.), the natural reserve "Trebujeni” and get acquainted with the folk art, traditional clothing, colorful interior decoration, the original architecture of countryside houses.

We propose you to combine your visit to Old Orhei with an excursion to Curchi monastery.
