What's included in 1-Day Bucovina Painted Monasteries tour from Suceava - English
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Humor Monastery
Humor Monastery is located on the crest of a hill, surrounded by trees and meadows, in the picturesque village named Manastirea Humorului. Placed at the entrance of the exterior wall, there is an inscription carved in rock, where we found out that the Church was built in 1530 by Toader Bubuiog who used to be a chancellor and member of the Moldavian Council.
Manastirea Voronet
The Voronet Monastery is considered by many experts to be the quintessence of the Moldavian architectural style, as it combines both Byzantine elements (the foundation is in the shape of white clover, with a tower right above the nave) and gothic elements (arks and columns). Voronet Monastery is considered to be the "Sistine Chapel of the Orient” for its big fresco on the Western facade, named afterward “Judgment’s Day”. „The Blue of Voronet” is considered unique in the world by specialists, similar to Rubes red or the Veronese green.
Moldovita Monastery
Is actually a fortress with strong thick walls (1,20 m) and tall towers (5m) on both corners of the facade with a powerful tower for the gate. It was founded by Petru Rareș in 1532 and the church is according to many specialists in mural painting, “one of the most important moments of the ancient Romanian art”.
