What to see in Căușeni and around it.

Căușeni was once part of the Ottoman-ruled Bugeac, where churches could not rise above the base of a mosque roof. So this one was built half below ground.

The paintings inside date from 1763, by the painters Stanciul Radu and Voicul.

The convent was founded in 1997 by Archimandrite Andrei Cotruța. It has three churches: a summer church, a winter church and a wooden church dedicated to Stephen the Great.

Nearby, 1.5 km from the village, is Suvorov's Spring, a protected source of drinking water.

The poet Alexei Mateevici lived in Zaim from 1893 to 1897. The house-museum opened on 26 March 1988, a hundred years after his birth.

Tighina is first mentioned as a customs post on 6 October 1408. In 1538 Suleiman the Magnificent took it, renamed it Bender and had it rebuilt in stone to a design by the architect Sinan.

An 1827 decree made Purcari the first specialised winery in Bessarabia. Its 1827 cellar has been restored and is considered the oldest in Moldova.
