Soroca fortress Photo

Photographer’s Note

The tiny fortress of Soroca was founded in XV cent. by Stefan the Great to defence its neiborhoods from Mongols invasions. Now the fortress has been converted in museum surrounded with lovely park. The great panorama on Dnestr and Ukrainian rivebank is opened from its gate. Hope you enjoy the picture.

Hi Denis,

Soroca fortress have been build to protect by invasion of mongols (tatari) and turks. In the time of Stephen the Great and Saint, Polish was in the North of Moldavia and Hungarians in the West. And Soroca is in the East border of Moldavia. :-)

very good photo and thank you for sharing it.
It is an important place for Romanians history and for me it is a very special place because my grandparents are from this place :-)

Regards,

Cosmin
