- Manastirea Curchi - Mănăstirea Curchi is among the most stunning and significant monastic complexes in Moldova, nestled in the forests of Codrii Orheiului, near Orhei. Established in 1773, the monastery evolved into a remarkable architectural ensemble of five churches constructed between the 18th and 19th centuries.
The main church, dedicated to the Nativity of the Mother of God, showcases elegant classical and baroque elements and stands out in the serene valley landscape. Closed during the Soviet era and later restored, Curchi today represents a symbol of spiritual renewal and architectural heritage.
