'''Piatra Neamț''' ({{IPA
==Etymology==
Line 31 ⟶ 47:
Piatra Neamț lies in the [[Bistrița River (Siret)|Bistrița River]] Valley, surrounded by mountains — Pietricica (530 m), Cozla (679 m), Cernegura (852 m), Bâtca Doamnei (462 m) and Cârloman (617 m) — at an average height of {{convert|345|m|2|abbr=on|lk=out}}. The river [[Doamna (Bistrița)|Doamna]] is a right tributary of the Bistrița; it flows into the Bâtca Doamnei Reservoir near Piatra Neamț.
The city is located {{convert|350|km|0|abbr=off}} north of [[Bucharest]], in the historical region of [[Moldavia]]. The nearest airport is [[Bacău International Airport|Bacău]], situated {{convert|60|km|0|abbr=in}} south. Piatra Neamț is linked by [[Căile Ferate Române|Romanian railways]] trunk number 509 to [[Bacău]] (and from there by [[Căile Ferate Române Line 500|Line 500]] to Bucharest), and by {{ill|DN15|ro}} national road to Bacău (and from there by [[DN2]] to Bucharest), [[Iași]], [[Suceava]], and [[Târgu Mureș]] in the [[Transylvania]] region.

Line 59 ⟶ 75:
Excavations just outside the city revealed the ruins of a large [[Dacia]]n city, Petrodava, mentioned by Greek geographer [[Ptolemy]] in the 2nd century. The whole compound had its heyday between the first century BCE and the first century CE. Standing out is the citadel at [[Bâtca Doamnei]] which contains shrines resembling those identified in the [[Dacian Fortresses of the Orăștie Mountains|Orăștie Mountains]]. As far as the existence of a local leader is concerned, historians tend to suggest the identification of the Kingdom of Dicomes in the very political centre at Petrodava. The complex of strongholds without peer in [[Moldavia]] and [[Wallachia]] is evidence as to a powerful political and military centre both in [[Burebista]]’s time and in the period that preceded the reign of [[Decebalus]]. The settlement was documented in the 15th century as Piatra lui Crăciun, or Camena, a [[market town]].
The first urban settlements, which emerged under [[Petru I of Moldova|Petru I Mușat]] (1375–1391), were Piatra lui Crăciun, [[Roman, Romania|Roman]], and Neamț. The [[Neamț citadel]], whose documentary attestation dates back to 2 February
In 2020, ten people were killed in [[Piatra Neamț hospital fire|a hospital fire]].
