🌇Chișinău the capital of the Republic of Moldova🇲🇩, appears in documents starting with July 17,1436. Later, in 1466, through a document issued at the court of Stephen the Great, the Land of Chișinău, from the Albișoara Well, together with the mill, was given to Vlaicu Pârcălab, Ștefan cel Mare’s uncle. So, Vlaicu Pârcălab (whose name is given to one of the central streets), was, as they say, the owner of the future capital, whitch then returned ti his sons and grandchildren for about a hundread years.
The lower part of the city is built in medieval style, with streets in the form of rayses, scattered around the Old Market.
The statue of Stephen the Great was inaugurated on April 29, 1928, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Unification of Bessarabia with Romania. This is one of the most important works of the famous Bessarabian sculptor from the interwar period, Alexandru Plămădeală. The statue was twice evacuated to Romania during the Second World War. Only, on August 31, 1990, at the celebration of a year since the Romanian language was proclaimed as the state language, the statue was placed in the actual place - the place where it all starts, both for the inhabitants of the capital and for its guests.
