A compact urban itinerary through Moldavia's historic second capital at the junction of the Siret and Moldova rivers, continuous seat of a bishopric since 1408. The route pairs the 16th-century post-Byzantine murals of the Episcopal Cathedral with rare Dacian silver hordes from ancient Zargidava displayed at the History Museum. The walk wraps up with Romanian modern art and the natural history dioramas of the Siret wetlands, set in a historic manor within the Municipal Park.
