Sectorul Buiucani
Sectorul Buiucani is one of the five sectors in Chişinău, the capital of Moldova, and the most affluent. The local administration is managed by a pretor appointed by the city administration. It governs over a portion of the city of Chişinău itself (the northwestern part), the cities/towns of Durleşti and Vatra, and the communes of Condriţa, Ghidighici, and Truşeni. It is largely populated by Romanians (Moldovans).
The largest Jewish cemetery in Europe is in Buiucani. The cemetery hosts an abandoned synagogue which was destroyed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Buiucani is also home to a large indoor market, on Ion Creangă street which sells clothes and other goods at low prices. On Ion Pelivan street there is a school and a drop-in centre for refugees from various conflicts. There are also several parks in the area and easy access to the rest of Chisinau, for example from minibus 160 to go to the city centre and Botanica and trolleybus 22, also going to Botanica.
