Piatra Neamt, bordered of mountains

Favorite thing: The new constructions that were built in Piatra Neamt are very well integrated to the landscape of this city.
A city that is extended on the shore of the river Bistrita makes body and soul with the whole nature.
Waters, mountains and forests, makes a splendid picture together with the life of the city.
The pearl of Moldova, just like is named this city, does pride to its pet name.

The "Stephen the Great" Square

4 more images

Favorite thing: The square was created between the years 1966-1968, through the rebuilding of the aged centre of Piatra Neamt.
The architect Iotiu realized the plans for the rebuilding.
The garden, with its many trees and flowers, is a Landscape element is in the middle of the town.
The square is an attractive connection between the new designs of the city and the aged historical edifices of the Princely Court.
In the middle of the square is the statue of Stephen the Great, an artwork of the sculptor Oscar Han.

Fondest memory: The well and the kiosk, the many benches and the nice avenues, the neat aspect of the park, are an important part of the new centre and a beautiful possibility for recuperation and silence.
A local orchestra plays music, sometimes, in the pavilion of the park.

The street Stephen the Great

The street
4 more images

Favorite thing: That is a very old street, with many old and important buildings, with much romanticism and silence.
The street begins in centre of the town, at the old Princely Church of Stephen the Great, and finishes exactly at the gate from the central graveyard of Piatra Neamt.
The inhabitants of the town name this street, in the joke, also "the last way".
The chestnut trees that stand on the two parts of the street are a peculiarity of this avenue of Piarta Neamt.
The most edifices of this street, old or new, are all handsome villas, with comfort and class.
The national college "Petru Rares", the Voivodal Court, the zoological-park "Cozla", the children's palace, the sports ground, the house of Elena Cuza(the wife of the Romanian prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza), the technical college, the stadium "Ceahlaul", and the central graveyard, are only from the great destination on this street.
This wonderful street has a particular place in my heart, because here, into these surroundings is the house, in which I was born.
Many people like to go for a walk on this quiet street.
It is the street of the love, of the memories and the romances.
