On Wednesday 2 March, a first Heritage Walk was organised in Soroca as part of the COMUS project. The tour started at the medieval fortress, continued in the old Bujerauca area and ended at the Aleinicov Villa. The route was organised to capture the town’s oldest streets, places of worship, traditional houses and one of the famous two-leveled cellars in Decebal Street.

The tour lasted for almost three hours and allowed local citizens to discuss and debate about the importance of their built heritage, while the guide was telling incredible stories about the visited places. This is the first of a series of planned actions which aim to raise awareness of the value of the old town, with a focus on traditional Moldovan architecture which is still preserved in these areas.
