Suceava

Suceava (Romanian: [suˈtʃe̯ava] (listen)) is the largest urban settlement and the seat of Suceava County, situated in the historical region of Bukovina, northeastern Romania, and at the crossroads of Central and Eastern Europe respectively. During the late Middle Ages, namely between 1388 and 1564, the middle-sized town was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia.From 1775 to 1918, Suceava was controlled by the Habsburg monarchy, initially part of its Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, then gradually becoming the third most populous urban settlement of the Duchy of Bukovina, a constituent land of the Austrian Empire and subsequently a crown land within the Austrian part of Austria-Hungary. During this time, Suceava was an important, strategically-located commercial border town with the then Romanian Old Kingdom.
