Trei Ierarhi
About Trei Ierarhi
A unique monument of its kind, a repository of the cultural and spiritual life of Moldavia, the Monastery of the Three Holy Hierarchs is located in the old centre of Iasi, on Stefan cel Mare si Sfant Boulevard, formerly known as the Princely Street.
The monument is renowned for its embroidery in stone (most of it preserved in its original form) that decorate the outer walls. Thirty different carved stone decoration bands cover the entire outside walls of the church from the base to the top of the steeples; they are inspired from the national old wood carvings and embroideries blended with Asian and Western elements. An impressive threefold twisted cord – a symbol of the Holy Trinity – makes the architectural complex of the church absolutely perfect.

Probably the jewel of Iasi, this UNESCO historical site, is the one thing you want to see in the city. It has the outside walls completely stone carved in fine traditional motifs from close than 400 ago. It is a marvel of craftsmanship and it shelters the tombs of some of the important kings of Moldavia. A definite must see.
