  • Gypsy Hill, Soroca, Moldova
    Considered the "unofficial capital of the gypsies", tourists are delighted by the view offered by the ethnic Roma houses of Gypsy Hill. On the only important elevation in Soroca, the Gypsies managed to erect, in just a few years, a megalith of constructions typical of this ethnic group, but which contrasts visibly with everything around, including the fortress of Stephen the Great. The respective houses represent real imposing fortresses, with two or three floors, sometimes even more, made of granite, marble, expensive imported materials, and thermal windows, guarded by huge statues, representing imitations of wild animals. At each entrance we find cylindrical columns, with bas-reliefs, supporting the balconies on the upper floors. It is a point of tourist attraction in the municipality of Soroca.

  • The Candle of Gratitude Monument, Soroca, Moldova
    At the beginning of the 2000s, a stone monument in the shape of a candle was erected, which received the name "Badea Mior" monument. The idea and the name of the monument belong to the writer Ion Druţă, who grew up and learned in the lands of Sorocii and who sang this land in many of his works. On March 27, 2004, the inauguration of the Candle of Gratitude monument took place. Here two elements meet: nature and history. The Candle of Gratitude, growing from the depths of our past, represents a tribute to all the anonymous heroes, who preserved the culture, language, and history of Moldova in the polychrome palette of human civilization. It symbolizes our hope and illuminates our path to the future, the path that can only be traveled through creative work, through the power of good. The Candle of Gratitude erected on the breast, above the Dniester, is the most important building in the modern history of Moldova, built in 2003-2004, it is 29.5 m high. From the waters of t…

I highly recommend the tour to Soroca. After a long drive to the Ukrainian border, you are rewarded with some truly remarkable highlights. After climbing 600 steps, you reach the "Candle of Gratitude" chapel and enjoy a beautiful view of the landscape. The star of the tour is the Soroca fortress. Two years ago, the fortress was renovated and today allows visitors to immerse themselves in a bygone era. In the Gipsy Hills, you can experience a different culture. The restaurant during a break was a very good choice, the food was very good. Lilia is an excellent tour guide and provides historical information and interesting background information throughout the tour. Lilia is a very pleasant conversationalist and a safe driver throughout the entire trip. I have done many day tours, and Lilia is definitely one of the best tour guides. As a result, the tour to Soroca is a wonderful experience.
