Sîngera (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a town in Chișinău municipality, Moldova. It lies southeast of the capital, along the national R2 road to Odessa, and is crossed by the Ișnovăț, a right tributary of the Bîc River. The town stands about 18 kilometers from central Chișinău, 4 kilometers from the Revaca railway station, and immediately adjacent to Chișinău International Airport.
Sîngera administratively includes the villages of Dobrogea and Revaca.
History
Sîngera was first mentioned in historical documents on June 8, 1485, under the name Sultana. According to local tradition, the current name derives from a legend recalling a fierce battle between Romanians and Turks fought in the valley near the settlement, during which “so much blood was shed that it reached the horses’ ankles.” From this image of sacrifice and struggle came the name Sîngera, meaning “bloody” or “place of blood.”[2]
The “Dormition of the Mother of God” Church in Sîngera was built of stone in 1880, replacing an earlier wooden church. A parish school and library were established nearby in the late 19th century. The church was reconstructed in 1921 and consecrated by the local archbishop, remaining one of the town’s most significant historical and religious sites.[3] The town also hosts the Church of the “Holy and Righteous Parents Joachim and Anna”, which continues to serve the local community today.
