Moldovița Monastery, Religious monastery in Bucovina, Romania
The Moldovița Monastery features exterior walls decorated with gold and deep blue frescoes depicting religious and historical scenes completed in 1537.
Petru Rareș, the son of Stephen the Great, established this Byzantine architectural complex in 1532 within a fortified quadrangular enclosure.
The monastery walls display detailed illustrations of the Siege of Constantinople and the Tree of Jesse, showing Christ's genealogy through medieval artistic techniques.
Located 55 miles northwest of Suceava, visitors can reach the monastery by car or train to Vatra Moldovitei station with guided tours available.
The monastery houses a museum containing Prince Rareș's original throne and maintains its dual function as an active religious center and heritage site.
