We had a great little tour . We were the only Canadians, but the others provide interesting perspectives , especially those from the other side ( other for us ) of the iron curtain . there is the soviet era buildings but also lots of church architecture that is remarkably preserved or fixed up . All eastern orthodox churches which i am sad to say i was not fully aware of layouts. nice preserved icons , a super bell ringing at the Catedrala episcopală Sf. Teodor Tiron

The Cathedral Park is adjacent to the Square and the dominant construction of the park is the Cathedral Church.

Every year in the autumn, Opera and Ballet celebrities from all over the world come to Chisinau in order to bring joy to the audience with their amazing performances. The Presidential Palace was built in 1990; the author of the project being Alik Zaltsman. Alongside the Presidential Palace there is a high-rise building of Agro-industrial Union where three national Ministries have their seats.
