Chișinău Theological Seminary

The Chișinău Theological Seminary, established on January 31, 1813, by Gavril Bănulescu-Bodoni, is a significant educational institution in Chișinău, Moldova. It offers a unique glimpse into the region's religious and cultural history. Notably, in 1918, Visarion Puiu became its director, shortly after Bessarabia united with the Kingdom of Romania, marking a pivotal moment in its history. This seminary not only serves as a center for theological education but also reflects the historical shifts in the region's governance and cultural identity.
