Church of Saints Emperors Constantine and Elena - Chisinau
The church of Visterniceni cemetery became part of the Riscani district in the capital. It was renamed Saints Emperors Constantine and Elena in 1834 at the request of nobleman Iorgu Râșcanu. The church houses a significant library of Greek, Romanian, and Slavonic church books, including important texts such as the Greek Anthologhin and Romanian Apostle. The altar contains a 88/7.8 cm aër covering with an inscription in Greek from 1765. The inscription translates to 'Praise God your servants Constantine, Catherine, and Evpraxia the nun, 1765.' This indicates that the founder gave the aër covering to the church, demonstrating that the church was operational prior to 1777. The cemetery holds tombstones of notable Moldovan families like Rascanu, Donici, Krupenscki, and Russo.
