Roman Catholic Church

Statue of Vasile Lupu, Voivode of Moldavia between 1634 and 1653.

Amusement park.

The complex is carved into a massive limestone cliff and this wild, rocky and remote spot is one of Moldova's most fantastic sights. Dug by Orthodox monks in the 13th century, this monastery of caves has not been spoiled by commercial exploitation, but the local children will sometimes offer you their carvings. Visiting the rock-hewn monastic cells does not have to be strenuous because you can drive a track to the clifftop and then negotiate a goat path.

A 337 km² national park protected since 2012.
