Monasteries and churches we can visit together

In medieval times, Moldavia was an independent country and for many years it was a barrier against the expansionist Ottoman Empire and a defender of European Christianity.
Suceava was the capital of Moldavia from the 1380s to 1560s -- the period when these unique monasteries and churches were erected.
These churches were usually built in the countryside and the monasteries were hidden in the mountains, forests or meadows, fortified with strong walls, away from invaders and robbers.
Some of them were decorated on the exterior walls with amazing frescoes in 1530s and after. You can see these jewels only in this area (the Bucovina region of Moldavia).
All Moldavian princes used to built at least one religious site as a gift for God. There  were noblemen who could afford to build stone churches, too.
They believed that the more churches were built, the more God would help those who built it --  and Moldavia.
Prince Stephen the Great and his son, prince Petru Rares, built the most churches and  monasteries during those times.
We are proud and lucky to have inherited such a rich  legacy  and I would be honoured to introduce it to you.
