About Sucevita Monastery

Enjoy looking at this breathtaking sight when you visit Romania which is also one of the eight painted churches from Bucovina that is on the UNESCO Heritage List. This monastery holds a place of immense significance in the history of mediaeval religious art as it marks the end of an era when creativity reached new levels in this part of the country.

Learn about the rich history of the monastery that goes back to the story of the grandsons of Moldavia’s most beloved prince, Stephen the Great. This was the last church in the entire region that had painted exterior walls during this time. Some of the most noteworthy paintings that you can see here include the Ladder of John Climax or The Ladder of Virtue, or Prayer of all Saints that covers seven walls.
