Geocache Description:


[RO]
Manastirea Galata a fost inaltata intre 1579-1584 de domnitorul Petre Schiopul.
Prima biserica a manastirii s-a ruinat la putin timp dupa ridicare, astfel încât ctitorul a hotarât ridicarea unei a doua biserici pe un deal ce domina valea râului Nicolina, la sud de Iasi, în 1583. În ceea ce priveste numele, unii istorici cred ca acesta vine de la numele cartierului Galata din Constantinopol (azi Istanbul).
Pictura interioara a fost distrusa în 1762 de un incendiu, fiind refacuta în 1811 de Vasile Dubrovski. În perioada comunista a fost simpla biserica de mir.

Va rog sa incercati sa nu fiti vazuti cand luati/puneti la loc cache-ul.
