TREBUJENI, MOLDOVA: OLD ORHEI (ORHEIUL VECHI)

Published on July 12, 2017 by jacquelinemhadel2 Comments

Old Orhei is an ancient city with traces of many different civilizations. It’s an expansive valley with a river (Răut River) running through it. After numerous archaeological digs, there’s evidence of life from the Stone (Paleolithic), Copper, and Iron Ages. It is famous for its cave monasteries.

The Orheiul Vechi Monastery Complex is carved into a massive limestone cliff in this wild, rocky, remote spot. The Cave Monastery (Manastire in Pestera), is inside a cliff overlooking the Raut River. It was dug by Orthodox monks in the 13th century. It remained inhabited until the 18th century, and in 1996 a handful of monks returned and began restoring it.
