Soroca, the 'Romani capital of Moldova'

Fort of Soroca

The fort of Soroca, on the Dniester river, established by the Moldavian prince Ştefan cel Mare (Stephen the Great) in 1499. The original wooden fort was an important link in the chain of fortifications which comprised four forts 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 Peter IV Rareș, the fort was rebuilt in stone as a perfect circle with five bastions situated at equal distances.
