 The city of Chisinau is situated on seven hills arranged in the shape of a circle. Modern Chisinau was conceived by its designers as a garden city—a settlement where green spaces alternate with buildings, complementing and enhancing them. In such a city, people were meant to feel closer to nature, enjoying everything this notion implies: cool shade during the summer heat, fresh air, soothing greenery, and the morning songs of birds. For decades, green spaces have generously provided this comfort to city residents, becoming Chisinau's hallmark.

+==== Village Museum ====
+Located at the entrance to the municipality of Chisinau, near the City Gates, the Village Museum can be considered an island of revelation and tranquility. It is the perfect place for meditation, where you are amazed by the fantastic landscape with a fairy-tale atmosphere. It was created in 1991 as a branch of the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History, and in May 1995, it was inaugurated as the "Village Museum," reflecting the Moldovan village of the 18th and 19th centuries. The museum hosts monuments of folk architecture.
+The first monument placed at the museum, in 1995, was the windmill from the village of Opaci, Căușeni district, which was destroyed in a fire in 2001 and has not been restored yet. At present, the museum complex boasts the oldest ecclesiastical monument in the Republic of Moldova, the wooden church brought from the village of Hirișeni, with the purpose of being restored and cared for. It was built in 1642 and is one of the tallest wooden churches in the country, with a height of 27 meters.
