Ciuflea Monastery - Moldova
Moldova
is that Europe country almost no one knows about cause it's not
touristic at all. That's what made me search a little bit more, and,
althought it's Communist past and scars are all around the country, I
still found this beautiful place in Chisinau. There is something quite
unique about the Russian architectural style...
The onion-shaped domes, the use of vibrant colours on rooftops that make
them pop in contrast to the pale blue sky, and the distinctly
old-school design – all that and more makes Russian architecture
striking, bold and awe-inspiring.
If
you are a fan of religious architecture and want to see a
picture-perfect Russian church, then you ought to visit this place.
Built in 1858, it was erected to mark the outer limit of the
then city of Chisinau, having been commissioned by a wealthy merchant
named Anastase Ciuflea in honor of his deceased brother Theodore. Over
the years the monastery has grown famous under the name of Ciuflea. What
started off as a simple stone structure eventually grew to accommodate
the expanding congregation of the church. The monastery represents one
of the best examples of Russian Byzantine style in Chisinau; its
interiors reflect distinct Russian Baroque.
Ciuflea
Monastery is not known just because it is located in the heart of
Chisinau. Here, the monks and priests are casting the demons out
of the people! For example, if you or your closest one have anxiety and
experience mood changes, you may have an issue with the demons!
How to visit:
It's
pretty simple. Visit the city and you encounter it on the city center.
There's a beautiful park nearby too, perfect for a picnic!!
