Metropolis of Moldavia and Bukovina

The Metropolis of Moldavia and Bucovina, in Iași, Romania, is a metropolis of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

The Metropolis of Moldavia was set up in 1386 and recognized in 1401 by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople as the Metropolis of Moldo-Wallachia.

It then united, in 1872, with the Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia to form the Romanian Orthodox Church.

[1] The church is headed by the Archbishop of Iași and Metropolitan of Moldavia and Bucovina, Teofan Savu.

It is divided into three archdioceses and one diocese.
