Dragomirna, Orthodox monastery in Mitocu Dragomirnei, Romania
The fortified monastery complex includes five structures: the Holy Spirit Church, Saint Nicholas Chapel, abbot residence, dining hall, and defensive walls.
Metropolitan Anastasie Crimca initiated the construction of the monastery between 1602 and 1609, establishing it on previously uninhabited land near Suceava.
The monastery contains medieval religious manuscripts, including a valuable 1609 Gospel written on parchment displaying intricate Moldavian calligraphy and illustrations.
The monastery sits 12 kilometers north of Suceava city, near Dragomirna forest, and celebrates its patron feast 50 days after Easter.
The central church features the tallest tower among Moldavian churches of its period, reaching a height of 42 meters.

Romania encompasses historic towns where medieval squares, Orthodox churches, and royal palaces are found. Bucharest, the capital, hosts the Parliament Palace and religious buildings like the 18th-century Stavropoleos Church. In Transylvania, Brașov preserves its 14th-century city walls, and Sibiu features its cobbled streets lined with old houses. Further north, Bukovina contains Orthodox monasteries adorned with Renaissance exterior frescoes. The Romanian territory also offers mountain landscapes and diverse natural sites. The Transfăgărășan road crosses the Carpathians at over 2000 meters altitude, linking two historic regions. Bran Castle and Peles Castle, perched in the mountains, showcase defensive and royal architecture. The saline lakes of Ocna Sibiului and thermal centers like Therme București highlight the country's natural resources. The Danube Delta completes this collection of destinations to explore.
