„Hanul Trei Sarmale” in Iași has been demolished
„Hanul Trei Sarmale,” considered a symbol of the city of Iași due to the personalities who frequented it over time, has been demolished.
Two years ago, an urban planning certificate was issued by the City Hall for the rehabilitation of the inn, as well as for the extension of the location with a hotel.
The owner of the inn, Marian Panainte, planned a hotel that would occupy 35% of the 4,899 sqm land area.
The inn had several owners over time, at one point being owned by the Socola Monastery.
While it was closed, it fell into disrepair, a situation exacerbated by management problems.
