Botoșani County

Botoșani County sits in northeastern Romania between the Siret and Prut rivers in the Moldavian region. The landscape consists of gently rolling hills and farmland spread across two main cities and numerous smaller settlements.

The region grew from the feudal system of Moldavia and underwent territorial shifts in the early 1900s. These changes incorporated neighboring areas and shaped the county's current boundaries.

Museums here honor the composer George Enescu in Dorohoi and the poet Mihai Eminescu in Ipotesti, showing how deeply the region connects to Romanian artistic traditions. Visitors can see how local pride in these figures shapes the cultural life of the area.

Rail and highway networks connect the two main cities and numerous smaller towns throughout the county. These routes make it easy to move between different parts of the region.

The Dragomirna Monastery near Itcani was completed in 1609 and holds manuscripts decorated by hand with intricate designs. These illuminated pages were created by artists trained under Metropolitan Anastase Crimca.
