Iaşi (Romanian pronunciation "Yash") is a city and municipality in north-eastern Romania. Founded most likely in the 14th century, the city was the capital of the Moldavian Principality from 1564 to 1859. In 1643, the first volume ever printed in the Romanian language was issued in Iaşi. The city was burned down by the Tatars in 1513, by the Ottomans in 1538, by the Imperial Russian troops in 1686. In 1734, it was hit by the plague. Between 1859 and 1862, both Iaşi and Bucharest were de-facto capitals of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia. In 1862, the union of the two principalities was recognized under the name of Romania, and Bucharest was chosen as the capital. During World War 1, Iaşi served as temporary capital of Romania, because Bucharest was under German military occupation between 1916 and 1918.

Nowadays it is one of the largest cities in Romania, also the social, economic, cultural and academic center of the north-eastern Romanian region of Moldova (Moldavia). Not to be confused with Moldova the country, although both were within the boundaries of the old Moldavian Principality and share an almost identical regional accent of the Romanian language. Two border crosspoints to the Republic of Moldova are in close proximity to the city: Sculeni (road) and Ungheni (rail).

  • Multe din pozele prezentate in acest clip sunt cam vechi. Ar trebui actualizat clipul pt ca Iasul de ceva timp incoace a inceput sa capete o noua infatisare....

  • nice to see where Stefan Atirgovitoae comes from. a great talent and the city must be proud of him. greetings from USA

  • Good work - I enjoyed the "tour"! Usually I tip the guide if the tour was a success. I'll give you my tip next time I'm in Iasi. I was able to recognize Strada Misai but you didn't "zero in" on that neighborhood so I guess there's little of "visitor importance" there. Someone very special to me lives there, hence my interest. Thanks!
