1. Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Cathedral

We start the walk from Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul - imposing and spectacular. It is located in the civic center of the city, on Dacia Boulevard.

We stroll along Dacia Boulevard. A few shady benches are occupied in the evening by young people or those who want to have something to eat outside. A little to the left of this main thoroughfare is city stadium. In the area of the blocks, the boulevard has at the beginning 2 lanes and is lighted, then follow the houses and the road has only one lane in each direction. The city looks like a classic socialist-built city.

It was built in 1806, it is tall, with a storey, solid, simple, built for defense against outlaws and foreign predators.
