The cornerstone of Chisinau is a purely symbolic stone, placed in 1986, commemorating 550 years since the first mention of the place name “Cheșeneu.” The initial inscription was in the Cyrillic alphabet.
On October 12, 2011, the inscription was renovated, and the text, now in the Latin alphabet, was modified.
It is believed that the city of Chisinau started its history from this location.
