In the western part of the city, situated within the Buiucani district, lies a modest park covering just 11 hectares – “Alunelul” Park. Established in 1958, this park occupies the grounds of a former Jewish cemetery. A portion of the cemetery was dismantled, and some remains were relocated to a new cemetery nearby.
Nestled deep within the park is the memorial complex dedicated to the victims of the 1903 Chisinau pogrom, which was erected in 1993. Notably, Alunelul Park underwent a splendid renovation at the end of 2020, much to the joy of both locals and visitors to the capital. The park’s focal point is the multicolored flowing fountain, featuring 284 water jets and lights. During the summer, these water jets dance to the rhythm of the music, reaching impressive heights.
