<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat led to such surprising popularity and continuity? The answer lies in the unique advantages of these homes. The rooms are dug into a hill or rocky slope, saving building materials. The walls and ceiling are constructed using the arched vault technique, which is reliable and efficient\u2014there is no need for additional supports, and this technique does not require construction mortars to bind the stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The radial ceiling, created using wedge-shaped stones, is significantly stronger and more durable than regular ceilings and walls. This allows one dwelling to serve several generations for centuries. Since the temperature inside the earth is relatively stable throughout the year (10-12\u00b0C), the adjoining house remains warm in winter (saving on heating) and cool in summer. As we can see, modern ecological principles were used by Moldovans long ago. Another undeniable advantage is the protection of the home from bad weather, earthquakes, and other dangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ba\u015fka contained everything necessary, including a stove for cooking and beds for all family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traveling along the R\u0103ut River, we saw such dwellings in several villages! Some houses are almost entirely gone, but many have been carefully restored and continue to be used \ud83e\udd70<\/p>\n\n\n\n We invite you to join us in touching the magic of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u021a\u00eera is a village in the G\u00e2nde\u0219ti commune, Flore\u0219ti district.

The population is 799 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ro\u0219ietici is a village and commune in the Flore\u0219ti district. The first documented mention of the village Ro\u0219ietici dates back to 1614.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is believed that the name of the village comes from the ancient custom of its residents wearing unusually wide red belts. The commune includes the villages of Ro\u0219ietici Vechi, Ro\u0219ietici, and Cenu\u0219a. The village of Ro\u0219ietici is located 15 km from the town of Flore\u0219ti and 145 km from the municipality of Chi\u0219in\u0103u.

The village was founded before this date, as it had a fish pond and a mill site on the R\u0103ut, and it belonged to the hatman Isac Bali\u0219, who rebelled against \u0218tefan Tom\u0219a, was killed in the battle at the Jijia River, and his properties were confiscated by the ruler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The commune also includes the Rogojeni railway station. The village is located 35 km from the town of \u0218old\u0103ne\u0219ti and 100 km from the municipality of Chi\u0219in\u0103u. The population is 261 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cenu\u0219a is a village in the Ro\u0219ietici commune, Flore\u0219ti district. The village is located on the right bank of the R\u0103ut River, 16 km from the town of Flore\u0219ti and 111 km from Chi\u0219in\u0103u. The village was first mentioned under the name Borodniceni in a document by Stephen the Great dated May 11, 1479, confirming that the ruler’s servant Ivashko Popovsky bought half of the village from Arman, the wife of Michael Lopatinsky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The name Borodniceni was used until the early 19th century, but the name Cenu\u0219a also appeared in documents. In 1804, the village wooden church was consecrated. In 1817, a stone church dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel was built in the village. In 1970, a treasure was found in the yard of one of the villagers\u201413 silver Polish and Dutch coins issued between 1587 and 1633.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Population: 935 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Are these hobbit homes?” the children exclaimed excitedly. Indeed, visiting Rogojeni, \u021a\u00eera, and Ro\u0219ietici, one might think that these places inspired Peter Jackson’s creation of Hobbiton from Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings.” Before us are semi-earth houses known as bordei (bordey, ba\u015fka).
