About location

Bacău has served as a market town in Moldavia since the early 15th century. First documented in 1408, it developed where the Bistrița River approaches its confluence with the Siret, on the plains east of the Eastern Carpathians. Calea Mărășești is one of the city’s major urban corridors, running through a built-up setting of businesses, public buildings, housing and mature trees. Bacău is the administrative centre of Bacău County and a commercial hub for this part of Romanian Moldavia. Orthodox churches and the preserved ruins of the Princely Court connect the modern city with the medieval Moldavian principality.

The city is closely associated with George Bacovia, the Romanian Symbolist poet born here in 1881; his memorial house maintains that literary connection.
