The monument of Ștefan cel Mare, also known as Stefan the Great, stands in a park that tells its own story in every season, but especially in spring and autumn, when nature is in all its splendour, it seems as if history is changing lively.As I strolled through the park, surrounded by the soft palette of autumn, I found myself in front of this impressive monument. Built in honor of Ștefan cel Mare, the Moldovan ruler who ruled from 1433 to 1504 and whose life and reign were marked by the tireless struggle to preserve Moldova's independence from the Ottoman Empire. The monument, erected in 1927, has survived the turmoil of history and today stands as a proud symbol of Moldovan identity and resilience.
