Târgul Sărăţii

Târgul Sărății was a Moldavian market settlement near the Prut, above the mouth of the Sărata stream. By 1489 it had already ceased to exist as a town: a charter of Stephen the Great described the site as deserted land where the market had once stood. The document records its purchase and confirmation to a servant of the prince. Its name preserves the memory of an early centre on the lower Prut.
