Iaşi is the second most populous city (according to the last census) and a municipality in Romania. Located in the historical Moldavia region, Iaşi has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Romanian social, cultural, academic and artistic life. The city was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia from 1564 to 1859, then of the United Principalities from 1859 to 1862 and the capital of Romania from 1916 to 1918. Known as The Cultural Capital of Romania, Iaşi is a symbol in Romanian history. The historian Nicolae Iorga said "There should be no Romanian who does not know of it".
Still referred to as The Moldavian Capital, Iaşi is the seat of Iaşi County and the main economic centre of the Romanian region of Moldavia. Home to the first Romanian university and to the first engineering school, it is the second largest university centre in the country and accommodates over 75,000 students in 5 public and 7 private universities. The social and cultural life revolves around the Vasile Alecsandri National Theater (the oldest in Romania), the Moldova State Philharmonic, the Opera House, the Tătăraşi Athenaeum, a famous Botanical Garden (the oldest and largest in Romania), the Central University Library (the oldest in Romania), the high quality cultural centres and festivals, an array of museums, memorial houses, religious and historical monuments.


Jászvásár romániai város. A történelmi Moldva közigazgatási és pénzügyi központja, Iași megye székhelye.
Moldva területén a 11. században jászok éltek, innen jön a város neve is, Jászvásár. Később azonban a jászok betelepültek a Magyar Királyság területére, Moldova területére pedig románok érkeztek.
1564-ben Alexandru Lăpușneanu moldvai fejedelem ide költöztette Moldva fővárosát Szucsávából. 1564-ben Vasile Lupu itt alapította az első román nyelvű iskolát, illetve a Trei Ierarhi-templomban egy nyomdát. 1643-ban az első moldvai nyomtatott könyv ebben a városban jelent meg.
1513-ban a tatárok, 1538-ban a törökök, 1686-ban pedig az oroszok dúlták fel, majd 1734-ben súlyos járvány tizedelte a város lakosságát.
1565 és 1859 között Moldva fővárosa, majd 1859 és 1862 között Moldva és Havasalföld Egyesült Királyságának társfővárosa volt Bukaresttel közösen. Az 1860-as évektől kezdődően a városban található fa- és vályog-épületek fokozatosan lebontódtak, helyükre kő- és tégla-épületeket építettek, illetve az úthálózat minősége is javult. A Kultúrpalota, a Nemzeti Színház és az Alexandru Ioan Cuza Egyetem is ebben az időben épült.
Az első világháború idején a város két évig volt Románia el nem foglalt területeinek fővárosa, miután 1916. december 6-án a központi hatalmak elfoglalták Bukarestet.
1944-ben a román-német és a Vörös Hadsereg erői sokáig csatáztak a város közelében, majd annak területén. 1944 júliusában a szovjet erők elfoglalták a várost.
A kommunista rendszerben erős iparosítás folyt a városban, illetve több óriási lakónegyed épült. A kommunizmus összeomlása után is Jászvásár maradt Kelet-Románia egyik gazdasági, kulturális, pénzügyi és közigazgatási központja.

  • Another point: the idea that the name Iasi comes from "iesi!" ("get out" in Romanian) is a legend. It most probably comes from the Jassic people (in romanian "Iasi" or "Iazyges"). Of course those Jassics who joined the Hungarians were loyal to them and became Hungarian over time. But those Jassics who did not join the Magyars and did not go to Hungary, but rather stayed here in central Moldavia, those Jassics became Moldavian and did not have a connection to Magyars. After all they stayed behind

  • @maegov

    Multumesc for your comments maegov! Iasi is a Romanian city and it belongs to Romania. I only used the Hungarian name as well because I am Magyar and surely it is not a problem. I present this video to the Hungarians, Romanians and everyone who visits my channel!

    You are free to watch my other videos just like everyone else.

    Salut!

see all

    You are right Jassy is in Central Moldavia, right ??, where the Jasz people lived.

    Cumans inhabitat all Moldavia and Wallachia.

  • @TheMistAnchorite

    The name says CLEARLY that JASSY or IASI originates from the JASZ People ( Jaszvasar hun. ), nothing to do with the Hungarians.

    It would be really a coincineance, I do not believe in it.

    If it did not originate from the Jassi ( JASZ Hun. ) people than from where the name, Iasi ????

  • The noble classes ( ELITE ) in Wallachia and Moldavia in the Middle Ages were mostly of Cuman Origin.

    They intermarried with the Vlachs and Moldavians.

    Some sources say that even the Basarabs were of Cuman origin.

  • @lugano288 The Cumans ans Jassics, UNLIKE the Csangos were NOT Magyar BEFORE arriving in Hungary. They assimilated into the Hungarian nation after they arrived in Hungary. Of course the Cumans and the Jassics were not Vlachs/Romanians either. The Cumans were Oghuz Turks (like the Turks in Turkey), albeit Christian, and the Jassics were Scythic (Iranic). It's very simple: the ones who went to Hungary became Magyar, the ones that stayed in Moldavia became Moldavian.

  • @lugano288 Also I will point out that the Cumans are in the same situation as the Jassic people. SOME of them stayed in Moldavia and Wallachia and became Romanians. Just like the Franks in France, who became French, despite being Germanic originally. The Romanian nobility has mainly Slavic origins, but some families have Cuman progenitors.

  • @maegov Also I should point out that the Jassic people only inhabbited central Moldavia. Other regions were inhabbited by Vlachs (Romanians). The Cumans and the Slavs before them who lived in Moldavia and Wallachia were the lords of the land. But the peasants who worked the lands were Vlachs (i.e. romanised people, i.e. Romanians). Before Romanisation there were all kinds of peoples in Moldavia: Gaetae (Dacians), Scythians and Sarmatians, Germanics, Celtics etc.

  • @lugano288 Mr. you should first learn English better before attempting to engage in a discussion uttering this language. The fact that the Jassic people inhabited Central Moldavia is just what I've said. I only pointed out that not all of them went to Hungary. SOME of them stayed in Moldavia even after the Great Mongol Raids in 1241. Those that stayed became Moldavians/Romanians. Those that went to Hungary (i.e. over the mountains) became Magyar. It's that simple.

  • @maegov

    Mr. !!! You deny that it existed the JASZ PEOPLE in MOLDOVA, study more before you comment so many stupid things.

    So what if the Poles called it Jassy, it still originates from the JASZ People, you either like it or not thats the truth.

    The Cumans =KUNS inhabitat Moldavia too, long before the Rumanians arrived here, their destiny was the same WITH THE JASZ PEOPLE.

  • @maegov

    Matyas Kiraly, King of Hungary had a very powerful influence over Moldova ( Moldva ), under his Reign it was called JASZVAROS.

    Its name indeed comes from the Jasz people who inhabitat the region ( Moldova ) in the 13th Century and it was their trade center.

    Some of them left Moldavia for Hungary ( probably due to the Tartar Invasion ) and settled in todays Jasszsag around the river Zagyva with the biggest city Jaszbereny, the rest was assimilated in Moldova like the Csango people.

  • Amazing, so very amazing! Thumbs up!
