The National College „Roman-Voda”

The National College “Roman-Voda” has been built in 1872 by the architect Constantin Baicoianu. It`s the oldest and the best school from our town, Roman, and also it`s the second most important from Neamt.
Here learn approximate 1200-1500 pupils from 1st grade to 12th grade. They are exceptional students with exceptional results at the international contests. After they finish the high school and the faculty they become important people.
The building is very spectacular. It`s huge, made from red brickbats, with big windows.Above those, there are some latin floral motives, which complete the harmonious construction. The National College “Roman-Voda” comprise 3 edifices, but the edifice A is the most important( it`s described above).
In the same yard with edifice A is the Hogas villa,which was lived by Calistrat Hogas(1847-1917) -an important writer from our coutry, who wrote “On the mountain roads” or “Alone”. He spent his last years of life in this house(he died here). He was teacher and director at the High School “Roman-Voda”(at that time, it wasn`t called “college”).
Now, the college keeps on being the best educational institution from our town.
