Cetatuia Monastery Courtyard, Iasi, July 2008
The monastery was built in 1669 by Duca Voda a Moldavian leader. Over the years the old buildings were transformed into ruins, so they had to be rebuilt. The inauguration of the new buildings, lead by king Carol I, took place in 1911. At the same event Romanian pioneer Aurel Vlaicu made the first flight in Iasi with the flying machine that he invented.
