  • Located in the north of Chișinău the Circus has been built to host concerts and performances by international artists. It is the biggest theater in Moldova with up to 1900 seats and an arena with 13 meters in diameter. The stage is surrounded by a semicircular lobby in the front half of the building and rooms for artists and staff in the back half. The dome is supported by an concrete truss, that surrounds the entire building and Rests on pillars on the ground floor.

  • In a very bad condition, although the renovation, which began in 2004 is still ongoing. The Circus reopened in 2014, the square and the stairs in front of the Circus are badly damaged.
