Besarabija, Historical neighborhood in Šiauliai, Lithuania.
The district encompasses a large portion of southern Šiauliai, extending from the railway to Verdulių village and Gardino street.
The area received its name after land plots were distributed to veterans of the Serbian-Turkish and Russian-Turkish Wars who fought in the Bessarabia region.
Three local stores and two blacksmith shops, including Šležo and Baltoji, provided essential goods and services to the neighborhood residents.
The neighborhood underwent major redevelopment between 1982 and 1990 with the construction of red brick residential buildings replacing the original village structures.
Following the 1966 Tashkent earthquake, numerous families relocated from Uzbekistan to this district, leading locals to nickname it Tashkent.
