A Short Guide to Moldova
Visitors looking at a map will find the country of Moldova in Eastern Europe, snuggled between the countries of Romania and Ukraine. Once a part of the Soviet Union, Moldova inhabitants gained their independence in 1991; however, it’s still a very poor, underdeveloped country. Transnestria formed a republic away from Moldova and is backed by Russia. Since then, there’s been a conflict about the cross-border.
The country is famous for the wines its local industry produces; however the west tends to ignore the wine from this country even though it’s of very high standards. On average, each rural household will press out about 3,500 liters annually; most of the grapes are grown in nearby fields. Moldova doesn’t have any other industry to it so its rivers and air are mostly unpolluted even in the capital city Chisinau.
World War II destroyed many of Moldova’s architecture. Any rebuilding that’s been done during the Soviet-era has provided the country with monotonous structures. However, there were a few historical buildings that survived and visitors who choose to vacation in the country will enjoy what’s not been destroyed.
Several of these historical structures include the Orheiul Vehci, a primordial church that’s created inside limestone cliffs. There’s also the Ivancea village, which is a medieval settlement preserved and inhabited by people who have Ukrainian origins. About two hours of Chisinau lay the town of Cahul, which has soothing thermal spas; in Milestii Micci, there is over 80 miles of underground wine cellars.
