Things to do in Iasi, Northeast Romania: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
The large city of Iasi has been a cultural and political hub since the 15th century. Everything orbits the Golden Plateau, bookended by the Palace of Culture and Union Square, and packed to the brim with churches and palaces galore. Iasi has significant Jewish history. The first Yiddish-language newspaper was published here, and the 17th-century Great Synagogue is the oldest surviving synagogue in Romania.

After visiting the Palace with the mall, St Nicholas church and Dosoftei house, then another church, we decided to make a stop here. The Cathedral is very big and housed on well maintained grounds and there were lots of people on the Thursday we visited it. Inside you can relax in the cool interior and pay your respects or simply watch the groups queuing to their patron saint laid here for everyone to see. People are very nice and friendly and greatful even for helping them with the many steps.

The tower of Golia is 30 m height. The visitors who want to have a panorama view of the city have to climb 130 stairs. The tower is one of the city's symbols.

This is a Romanian Orthodox monastery located in Dobrovăț-Ruși, Iaşi County, Romania. The monastery is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments. Located 25 km (16 mi) southeast of the city of Iaşi, the monastery, dedicated to the Holy Spirit, is the last holy founding that Stephen the Great, the Voivode of Moldavia, erected during his reign. It was completed in 1504 by Bogdan III, son of Stephen. The paintings inside the church of the monastic complex were executed during the reign of Petru Rareș Voivode, another son of Stephen the Great, between 1527 and 1530
