About Mănăstirea Golia
A fortified monastery in the east of Iași, in the Târgu Cucu area, recognisable by its roughly 30-metre tower, which can be climbed for a view over the centre. The enclosure is a fortress in full, with thick walls and corner towers — a direct consequence of Iași being the Moldavian capital and therefore a military target. Today it is one of the best visual landmarks in the east of the city. The exact location is on the map on this page; public transport gets you there from the centre in a few stops, and a CTP ticket costs 4 lei, valid 120 minutes. In the same area: Sinagoga Mare din Iași and Blue Acqua Restaurant. Editorial context in the churches and monasteries guide; the rest of the selection, in all attractions.
