150 Anniversary of the Opening of Real School in Chișinău: Following an Educational Tour in Iași

Abstract

The dialogue with Alla Ceastina, who’s the doctor in the study of arts, senior scientific researcher, focuses on an interesting document discovered in the National Archives Agency of the Republic of Moldova, which provides information about the trip of a group consisting of 25 students and 4 teachers from the Real School for the boys travelling from Chișinău to the Romanian city of Iași, which took place at 4 and 5 October 1909. Today it is particularly interesting to follow in the footsteps of this excursion, surprisingly rich in historical facts, to visit architectural monuments such as: the Church of the Three Holy Hierarchs, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Saint Nicholas Church, the university, the theater, etc. Such a trip to Iași city remains relevant and can present the basis of a modern exciting tourist route for any guide. It’s known that the Real School for the boys of Chișinău opened on December 6, 1873, and its purpose was the development of practical and technical skills with the completion of general education. So, this year we celebrate 150 years since its establishment, it’s an additional reason to remember this institution.
