This city is famous with its museum complex Old Orhei, where there has been preserved remains of old settlements, belonging to different civilizations.
Vartely is an old name of the oldest towns in Moldova- Orhei. It originated from the Hungarian word "Var". Vartely - "town", "castle", the root of the word was brought to Moldova by the Valahians that came here from the Western Carpathians.
It is situated in a rocky cove, r. Raut., measuring up to,150-200 m. depth. Visitors may feel the sense of the spirit of the first human settlements lived here centuries ago. There was a Geto-Dacian castle on the roky top in V - III B.C., ancestors of the present autochthonous population of Republic of Moldova.
On the other side of the river the ruins of the "New Town" the Golden Horde can be seen. It was built by the name of Sheih al Jedid, (XIII-XIV), witch is recognized by the scientists as one of the capitals of the Tatar horde, in the period of their expansion to Europe.
After the redemption of this place by the Moldovan soldiers, there was build a powerful stone fortress- Orhei (XV.), the base of witch has remained until today. Since the middle ages, here stands an orthodox monastery "The Repose of The Mother of God" (some sources attribute it to the XII.). Today the monastery is opened for visitors any season, but it is suggested to visit it during the Christian holidays.
