In such a beautiful country, with such a glorious past, in the midst of such a smart people, how can love of country not be a true religion and how should you not raise your forehead, like the towering ancestors of old, proud that you can say: "I'm Romanian!"

The monument of Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt from the center of Chișinau is one of the main symbols of the Independence of the Republic of Moldova. Inaugurated 90 years ago, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, today, the monument of the great ruler is the place where at the most important events lay flowers and worship both officials, including foreigners and ordinary citizens. Near the monument of the ruler, the crowds gathered at the great national assemblies that culminated with the exit of the Republic of Moldova from the USSR.

The statue of Ștefan cel Mare from Chișinau is a monument dedicated to the Moldavian ruler Ștefan cel Mare (1457-1504), made between 1925-1928 by the sculptor Alexandru Plămădeală and located in the Ștefan cel Mare Park in Chișinau, Moldova.

The Candle of Gratitude

The idea to erect this monument belongs to the famous classic of Moldovan literature, Ion Druță who inaugurated it on March 27, 2004. This monument erected on the rock, above the old Nistru, on the edge of Soroca, is one of the most important buildings in modern Moldovan history . "Candle of Gratitude" is a tribute to all anonymous heroes, who preserved the culture, language and history of Moldova in the polychrome palette of human civilization, while perpetuating the memory of the great anonymous poet, author of the ballad „Miorița”.

Arch of Triumph

The Arc de Triomphe (once called the Holy Gates, and under the Soviet regime - the Victory Arch and the Victory Arch) is a monument of national architecture, entered in the Register of Monuments of History and Culture of Chisinau, part of the Cathedral of the Nativity. It is the 5th most beautiful triumphal arch in the world, surpassing, according to a top compiled in 2015 by the magazine "Aeroflot Premium", those in Kiev, Bucharest, Kursk, Barcelona and Sardarapat (Armenia). It was built in 1840-1841 to commemorate the victory of the Russian army in the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829. Inside the arch is a giant bell weighing 6.4 tons, which was cast from the metal of Turkish cannons captured in the war.

• The statue of wolf (Lupa Capitolina) from Chisinau, was donated by the municipality of Rome in the first years after the union of Bessarabia and Bukovina with Romania, respectively in 1921. of Rome offered to the city of Chisinau a copy of the statue -Lupa capitolina- made by the sculptor Ettore Ferrari. The statue was installed in front of the building where the "Country Council" (Bessarabian Parliament at the Great Union) voted to unite with Romania. With the Soviet annexation following the Hitler-Stalin Pact, the statue was melted down by Russian invaders, who considered it a symbol of Italian fascism and Romanian imperialism. After gaining the independence of the Republic of Moldova in 1990, the "Cultural League for the Unity of Romanians Everywhere" made a replica of the statue, which it gave to the new state, of the same Latin origin. The statue was installed in front of the "Museum of History of the Republic of Moldova" in Chisinau. With the coming to power of the Russian-speaking communists, the symbols of the people's Latinity became marginalized again, so the village was destroyed again. Thus, a new donation from the "Cultural League for the unity of Romanians everywhere" allowed a new child ( reproductions) of the original 1921 statue, which was re-installed on its pedestal on 1 December 2009
