Metroji clue #98

Chisinau in five emoji

Moldova

The capital of a country that exports wine, sunflower oil and, for a long time, its own working-age population. The city was largely rebuilt after 1945.

What each emoji refers to

MileΘ™tii Mici holds the largest wine collection in the world by bottle count, stored in about two hundred kilometres of limestone tunnels.
Sunflower oil is one of the country's biggest exports, pressed from the fields that surround the city.
The sunflower crop is large enough that the countryside changes colour with it in July.
The Nativity cathedral has a free-standing bell tower, rebuilt in the 1990s after the Soviet one was demolished.
Lăutari play at weddings for hours at a stretch, and the fiddle carries the tune.
