The Cathedral of Christ’s Nativity (Romanian: Catedrala Mitropolitană Nașterea Domnului) is the main cathedral of the Moldovan Orthodox Church in Central Chișinău, Moldova. It was commissioned by the governor of New Russia, Prince Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov, and Metropolitan Gavril Bănulescu-Bodoni in 1830. The cathedral was built in the 1830s to a Neoclassical design by Abram Melnikov (who had designed a similar church in Bolhrad). The cathedral was bombed during World War II, and its bell tower was destroyed by the local Communists in 1962. The new bell tower was constructed in 1997. During the Soviet period, worship was prohibited and the cathedral was transformed into an exhibition center. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nativity_Cathedral,_Chișinău

Artist: Radu Dumbravahttps://www.instagram.com/dumbravaradu/The National Theater Mihai Eminescu was established on October 10, 1920 by a group of prominent Romanian cultural and public figures, led by the Minister of Bessarabia in the Government of Romania, Sergiu T. Niţă. The troupe worked only one season, delivering 25 performances. In 1935, by ministerial order, theaters in Chisinau, Craiova and Chernivtsi were closed for financial reasons. Although short-lived, the first National Theater in Chisinau has made an important contribution to the culture of Bessarabia. https://www.gpsmycity.com/attractions/national-theater-mihai-eminescu-9979.htmlPisică Ferocească : Ferocious Kitty

Truly underrated. I’m torn ~ I want more tourists to come to spark the economy, yet on the other hand, it would be nice for this to remain the sleepiest capital left on the planet . 🙂
Thank you. Sorry for the delayed response. No filters, just editing sometimes with SnapSeed on my iPAD. When I use my Canon 6D, it really does a lot of the work for me. When you see rounded images up there, they are from a GoPro. The ‘smooth’ pics you see up there are “glamour glow” on SnapSeed. Hope that helps. Thanks for taking the time to look through and comment.
