  • Not much to do around. But the actual monastery is beautiful and very well decorated and up-kept. Bit far from Chișinău but if you take detours in the way you will enjoy. There are servers parks and foresty areas you can park and enjoy a Picnic. Look around in the map as you plan to see what is of interest for you!
  • An impressive beautiful Monastery Site Established in medieval Moldavia, Căpriana is situated in a picturesque forested area once called Codrii Lăpușnei. There are three churches on the monastery site. The Church of the Dormition (a stone summer church) is the oldest extant church in Moldova. The winter church of St George is a twentieth century building. The nineteenth century church is dedicated to St Nicholas. The Church of the Dormition contains the tomb of Metropolitan Gavril Bănulescu-Bodoni.
