Reviewed By NinaIH - Stavanger, Norway
Built in the 1500s, this is a perfect example of turkish medieval style architecture. You'll need to travel to Transnistia to see this, as Bendery is in Transnistria. You don't need a guide, but its beneficial as there is not much information available on site. There is a small museum with medieval torture devices, and a small museum with displays of items found in the grounds around and in the fortress, as well as a miniature version of the fortress. I'd say this is a mush if you choose to visit Transnistria.

Just a must visit for any history buff. Located in Bendera, the second largest city of unique and lovely state of Transnistria. The history of this fortress is long and very interesting. Absolutely a place to see and study in Bendera.

This cemetery contains the graves of soldiers of many countries - not only this one - who died for their country: Russians, who came in the eighteenth century with Potemkin, Swedes, who came with Charles XII (at the end of the path on the left), French, Germans, Hungarians who died in the Second World War... My driver, a Ukrainian, told me the proper name was the cemetery of "those who died for their country". It is beautifully kept.
In front of the monumental entrance, there stands a magnificent statue of General Potemkin, the lover - some say the husband - of Catherine the Great, who captured Bender fortress from the Ottomans.
(The fortress was also where Charles XII and his remaining men came after the Battle of Poltava. It is now a military barracks, so tourists can't visit. You get a decent view of the walls and roofs from a bridge near Tiraspol.)

This memorial is located in Bender, the second largest city of Transnistria. This memorial has a long sad history that you can study and reflect on your visit. A place of deep patriotic value.

Без сомнения, Преображенский кафедральный собор - один из знаковых символов города Бендеры, его непростой истории... Собор - не только исторический, культурный и архитектурный памятник города Бендеры... Уже 200 лет Собор является духовным центром для православных Приднестровья... Центром духовной жизни... Пожелаем Храму и далее оставаться духовным центром для жителей Приднестровья... В непростые для них времена...
