Chișinău is the capital and largest city of Moldova, home to around 567,000 people. Situated among gentle hills in the heart of the country, it serves as Moldova's political, economic, and cultural centre. The city blends Soviet-era architecture with older heritage buildings, including the early-20th-century former Red Cross community building of Hârbovăț Monastery (1910) and the Palace of the Republic. The Church of Saint Voivode Stephen the Great is a notable landmark, while the Codrii forest reserve offers a natural escape nearby.
