Bucovina
The home of one of the
world’s greatest art
treasures
The countryside
Some of Romania’s most
beautiful countryside is found in
Bucovina, whose rolling green
hills nestle picturesque villages
and monasteries in their valleys.
Horse-drawn carts driven by
people wrapped up against the
cold, outdoor wells, piles of
chopped wood that adorn the
yards, and the traditional
farmers’ markets which bustle
with activity are some of the
scenes that the traveller will
encounter in this fascinating
region of Romania, a stark
contrast to the frenetic pace
and way of life shaped by the
modern face of city living.
The Painted Monasteries

Deemed masterpieces of Byzantine
art, these churches are one-of-a-kind
architectural sites in Europe and offer
the visitors an opportunity to explore
the Carpathian Mountains, the
picturesque villages of the region,
and other, non-painted churches.

The northern part of
Romania
(Bucovina) is known
for its Painted
Monasteries. These
beautiful structures,
averaging
between 4 and 5
centuries old, are
decorated both
inside and outside
with richly coloured
frescoes as old as
the buildings
themselves.
Putna Monastery
Putna Monastery, built in
the 16-th century by
Stephan the Great
(Stefan cel Mare), who
is also buried here, is
certainly the most
beautiful monastery
from Bucovina. Besides
the old church, which
has been renovated,
there is also a very
interesting museum
here, where you can
see a copy of the sword
of the great ruler.
Putna Monastery is a
very important tourist
attraction that shouldn
not be missed by those
who are fond of culture
or history.
Voronet Monastery
Perhaps the most famous and
stunning of the painted
monasteries is Voronet
founded in 1487 by Stephen
the Great to celebrate a
victory over the Turks. Widely
known throughout Europe as
"the Sistine Chapel of the East"
due to its interior and exterior
wall paintings, this monastery
offers an abundance of
frescoes featuring an intense
shade of blue commonly
known as “Voronet blue”.
In addition, the frescoed walls
of the Voronet monastery
illustrate biblical scenes such
as The Last Judgment and The
Ladder of St. John.
Ceahlau National Park
A visit to Bucovina would not be complete without some
stunning nature walks through Ceahlau National Park,
Romania’s Olympus – the sacred mountain of the
Dacians, the forefathers of the Romanian people. Make
sure you bring binoculars as some 90 species of birds
can be seen in the park area. Hikers won’t want to pass
up taking a crack at the Bicaz Gorges, a steep, twistingand-turning climb more than three miles long.
