  2. ↑ In March 2023, the Parliament of Moldova passed a law updating all legislative texts and the constitution to refer to the national language as Romanian, effectively rendering the term "Moldovan" obsolete.[7][8]

Multiple public transport options operate within Codru. The city is served by two bus lines — the 14 and 15 buses of Chișinău Municipality[9] — as well as several minibuses, most notably the 178 minibus line, which also covers a large area of Chișinău, particularly the city center.[10]

Costiujeni Psychiatric Hospital

[edit]
Part of the Costiujeni Psychiatric Hospital complex

According to a legend recounted by Irina Cantacuzino (1915–2007), during a heavy blizzard a wolf pack killed two children, Constantin (Kostea) and Eugene (Jenea), and their mother subsequently lost her mind and soon died. Their father became a monk and built a small monastic hermitage, which over time became known as “Kostea-Jenea.” In 1895, the clinical psychiatric hospital Costiujeni (now officially Chișinău Psychiatric Hospital [ro]) was founded nearby, soon to be recognized as one of the leading institutions of its kind in Eastern Europe.[11]
