Napadeni village cemetery
The cemetery is known and interesting due to the fact that there is a bell tower on its territory, which, however, is destroyed. This bell tower reminds of the imposing former church of Saint Nicholas, built in 1881.
Also here is the grave of the journalist priest Grigorie Constantinescu (1875-1932), Alexei Mateevici’s first Romanian language teacher. Grigorie Constantinescu studied at the Seminary “Veniamin” in Iasi (1888 – 1896) and at the Spiritual Academy in Kiev (1897 – 1902), he was a translator at the Romanian Consulate in Odessa (1904 – 1906), the First Professor of the Romanian Language at the Theology Seminary from Chisinau and the Diocesan School for Girls (1906 – 1918), Editorial Secretary of the magazine “Luminatorul” (1908), Secretary of the Diocesan Printing Office (since 1909), Editor and Director of the newspaper “Glasul Bessarabiei” (1913 – 1914), all in Chisinau.
