Soroca - a beautiful northern Moldovan town, situated on the right coast of the Nistru river, thus beautiful views are guaranteed!
Maybe Soroca is not the most famous attraction of Moldova and very few people visit it, but if you are one of those "different" - then this option is best for you!
There are 3 main areas of Soroca, which worth visiting:
- Medieval Fortress ( now on reconstruction)
- Candle of Gratitude
- Gypsy Hill.
Let me explain those:
SOROCA FORTRESS - now on reconstruction.
CANDLE OF GRATITUDE Monument - is a 30 meters tall obelisk on the top of the hill, with 650 steps! The monument symbolizes gratitude to people who preserved Moldovan culture through centuries.
GYPSY HILL - it is a crazy-looking architectural area of Roma people. Most of the houses look like small castles.
You should see that!

Soroca Fortress, Soroca, Moldova Soroca Fortress (Romanian: Cetatea Soroca) is a historic fort in the Republic of Moldova, in the modern-day city of Soroca.
History
The city has its origin in the medieval Genoese trade post of Olchionia, or Alchona. It is known for its well-preserved stronghold, established by the Moldavian Prince Stephen the Great (Ştefan cel Mare) in 1499.
The original wooden fort, which defended a ford over the Dniester (Moldovan/Romanian: Nistru), was an important link in the chain of fortifications which comprised four forts (e.g. Akkerman and Khotin) on the Dniester, two forts on the Danube and three forts on the north border of medieval Moldova. Between 1543 and 1546 under the rule of Petru Rareş, the fortress was rebuilt in stone as a perfect circle with five bastions situated at equal distances.
During the Great Turkish War, John Sobieski's forces successfully defended the fortress against the Ottomans. It was of vital military importance during the Pruth Campaign of Peter the Great in 1711. The stronghold was sacked by the Russians in the Russo-Turkish War (1735–1739). The Soroca fortress is an important attraction in Soroca, having preserved cultures and kept the old Soroca in the present day. 60 minutes
