Tucked away beneath the ground, the 'Assumption of the Virgin Mary' Church in Căușeni is a true Moldovan treasure. Built in 1763, this semi-buried architectural marvel features breathtaking frescoes painted by Wallachian artists, blending vibrant colors with Byzantine influences.

Legend says its unique design was a compromise with the Tatars, ensuring it wouldn’t rise taller than a soldier on horseback. After years of careful restoration, this one-of-a-kind monument now invites visitors to step back in time and experience its quiet beauty.

I was lucky to visit for a short time, but I’m already dreaming of returning. Would you explore a hidden gem like this?
