A hidden gem full of history and serenity. Galata Monastery is a peaceful place surrounded by nature, with beautifully preserved architecture and a calming spiritual atmosphere.

Mănăstirea GALATA cu hramul "Înălțarea Domnului" a fost construită în 1582 de domnitorul Moldovei Petru Șchiopul.Fiind prima biserică din Moldova cu două turle ea va fi model pentru mănăstirea Aroneanu și Trei Ierarhi . La 1653 Paul de Alep semnalează o împrejmuire din lemn ce înconjoară biserica.In 1735 ecumenul Nectarie cu ajutorul domnitorului Grigore al doilea Matei Ghica face un zid de piatră în locul gardului de lemn protejând mai bine in fata invaziilor .Un incendiu a mistuit interiorul in 1762 dar a fost repictata in 1811.Pe timpul domniei lui Mihai Sturza 1834-1849 sa mai construit un etaj la turnul de piatră al porții de intrare.
