Piatra-Neamţ

Piatra-Neamţ

      city, capital of Neamţ judeţ (county), northeastern Romania. It lies in the valley of the Bistriţa River and is surrounded by mountains. It is first documented in the 14th century as Piatra lui Crăciun, or Camena, a market town where fairs were held. Stephen the Great of Moldavia built the Church of St. John there in 1497–98, a classic example of ornate Moldavian architecture. The Bistriţa Monastery, founded at the beginning of the 15th century by Prince Alexander the Good and rebuilt in 1554 by Prince Alexander Lăpuşneanu, is 5 miles (8 km) west of Piatra-Neamţ. The city has a state theatre, a regional natural-science museum, and an archaeological museum of Neolithic pottery. The city's industries include a fertilizer plant, a pulp and paper mill, and several food-processing plants. Southeast of the city, in the Bistriţa River valley, are large factories producing synthetic fibre and nitrogenous fertilizer. Pop. (2007 est.) 108,085.
