Orheiul Vechi
The remnants of the first human settlements, which are some tens of thousands years old, were found in the stone caverns from here. On the rocky hill, you’ll find the ruins of a strong Geto-Dacian (Moldavian ancestors) fortification and the calendar, which acted as a sanctuary for celebrating religious holidays and rituals in this prehistoric community.
The originality of Orheiul Vechi's landscape is due to the defile of the Raut river, dug under the form of a canyon in the limestone layers of the former Sarmatia sea, about 14 million years ago.
