City Introduction

Iași is one of Romania’s largest cities, and it has played a significant role in Romanian history. Over the centuries, the city has been a leading cultural city, and it was also the capital of the principality of Moldavia from 1564 to 1859. The city was also briefly the capital of Romania, which was in the years 1916-1918, and therefore the city is one of the symbols of the country.

In Iași, the impressive Palace of Culture stands as the city’s best-known building. The palace is located on the site where the princes of Moldavia had their court, and it is a large extension of a neoclassical residence from the 19th century. Today, the Palace of Culture is a beautiful sight, and since 1955 it has been open as the national museum for Moldavia, so you can get a good impression of Iași’s history here.

At the Palace of Culture there is a fine park, and from the square Piața Palat in front of the palace you can go for a walk to other nearby places of interest in the city. Along the main street Bulevardul Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt are some of Iași’s larger institutions and buildings located. Here you can see the city’s town hall, the national theater and the park in front of the theater before reaching the modern and large Piața Unirii square.

You can also see several churches along Bulevardul Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt, such as the beautiful monastery church Mănăstirea Trei Ierarhi, which was built in the 1630s. Close to this is the circular and modern Catholic cathedral, where you can enjoy a beautiful and different interior. In the area is also the four-towered Romanian Orthodox cathedral, Catedrala Mitropolitană, which was completed in 1886. Next to the cathedral is the old 18th-century cathedral.
