Old Orhei is an open-air museum, and every corner of the rock hides a story. During your stay at ILLU, we recommend you visit the spiritual and historical heart of the complex:

• Cave Monastery (Church of the “Assumption of the Virgin Mary”): A masterpiece of cave architecture, carved directly into the limestone rock. It is an unforgettable experience to climb the narrow stairs and feel the aura of tranquility that has persisted for hundreds of years.

• Ruins of the Medieval Citadel (Shehr al-Gedid): Although only the foundation remains, these ruins are proof of the existence of an important medieval settlement.

• Butuceni Village Museum: Here you will find artifacts that illustrate the history and daily life of the locals from ancient times to the present.

Fiecare edificiu vizitat este o fereastră către trecutul Moldovei — de la geto-daci, la cetățile medievale și viața monahală.
