This place attracts tourists as the nature created here unique landscapes in which the person didn't take part.

From all directions Old Orhei is surrounded with high rocks, and in the center the hill settles down, the surrounding territory from where is very well looked through. This fact was defining for a choice of a place of the settlement of ancient inhabitants. Here archeological excavations were repeatedly carried out and the artifacts confirming these historical data were found.Also on this place subsequently there were many rocky monasteries which too chose places difficult available. Today here only one such monastery works and we can visit it.
