A free guided tour of the house where the author of the anthem words was born

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it if the figure who wrote the words of the anthem matters to you: entry and the guide are free. One visitor says plainly, though, that it is not for everyone.

The story

House museum in the village of Căinari, dedicated to the poet and priest Alexei Mateevici, who wrote the words of the national anthem. Entry is free, and the guided tour is free too, notes one visitor who adds that the place is easy to reach by bus. The reviews come largely from local people: a parent recounts coming here often with their child and talking to them about the poet, and now the child studies at the high school that bears his name and is proud of it. Another visitor is more reserved and says plainly that the place is interesting, but not for everyone. The recurring complaint is not about the museum but about the road: one visitor recounts covering the last stretch at twenty kilometres an hour.
