    Chisinau is connected via railway systems and roads that are linked to small towns and villages also with urrban centres in Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey, Belarus, Russia and many others. From an administrative point of view Chisinau is devided into 5 main sectors: Centre, Botanica, Buiucani, Rascani and Ciocana. The local administrative power is held by the City Council. The place is also known as the city made of white stone. The following name was given because of the high buildings that were once constructed from beautiful white limestone rock.

     

    There are two main hypotheses about the name Chisinau and where it comes from. The first hypothesis comes from Hungarian language: (Kis+Jeno) = small headwater. The following words are connected to early Moldovian settlers who held power between 1224- 1359. The second hypothesis was issued by the Soviet researchers and adopted  by the Soviet authorities. They suggested that the name Chisinau was formed from two words: Romanian word "Noua" + Hungarian word "Kisla" = Kislanoua.

     

    The City of Chisinau is situated in the center and South East of Europe. The foundations consists of granite slabs and gneisses of the archaic period at a depth of 1150 below the sea level. The upper section of this basement is formed of sadimentary rocks from Silurian, Devonian, Paleogen and Neugene ages. In places where erosion took place we can only see clay, sand and limestone. From Nourth to South the city is intersected by a layer of mediosarmatic reefs.
