Encyclopedia > Targu Neamt

Târgu Neamţ is a town in Neamţ county, Romania, on the Neamţ river.


Originally a market town, hence its name (in Romanian "târg" = market), it had an important role in the Moldavian culture.


The origin of the name neamţ is derived from Slavic nemeti meaning "mute" or "German" (derived from first meaning - a German was a person that did not speak their language). Whetever it was or not a Teutonic settlement is still under dispute.

  • The Neamt Monastery (Mânăstirea Neamţului), founded by Ştefan cel Mare and Agapia Monastery are located west of the town.
  • The Neamt Fortress (Cetatea Neamţului) was built in the 14th century by voivode Petru I and is located on the north bank of the Neamţ river.

Population

  • 1992: 22,221
