What to do and see in Iasi, Northeast Romania: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

April 12, 2022 Sheron Bogner

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.

Saint Nicholas Church

Reviewed By wondereyes - Bucharest, Romania

This little church touched my heart. This time, in visit for 2 days in Iasi what ever I was doing, when ever my steps brought me near this church, i had the feeling that i have to see it. Finaly, Saturday morning, before leaving we went in the morning . at begining the church was closed at 9:00 am, but fortunately while we were circleing it on the outside to look at the beautiful paintings, a lady came and opened it. The church is as beautiful on the inside as on the outside, paintings are very clear. we had a feeling of pace inside. the icons were so beautiful. This is the oldest church in Iasi and even if restored during the monarchy, it makes you think of its founder - one of the greatest kings in Moldova - Stefan cel Mare. Outside paintings are different from what i saw in other churches - never seen before paited philosophers. I still debate if is first position in Iasi churches or should I put it on second place after Trei Ierarhi.
