Voroneț Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Gura Humorului, Romania
The monastery walls display painted frescoes in various shades of blue, depicting biblical narratives and religious scenes across their entire surface.
Stephen the Great established the monastery in 1487 after his military success against Turkish forces, completing its construction in just three months.
The monastery preserves medieval Romanian art through exterior frescoes that illustrate religious stories, including The Last Judgment and The Tree of Jesse.
The monastery opens its doors to visitors daily, with resident nuns providing guided tours and operating an artisanal painting workshop.
The exterior walls feature a particular shade of blue pigment, known as Voronet blue, whose exact composition remains undetermined after 500 years.
