🎧 Listen to Introduction
These eight churches in northern Moldavia were built between the late 15th and 16th centuries and their facades are covered with frescoes, masterpieces of Byzantine art. The frescoes are authentic and exceptionally well preserved. Far from being mere wall decorations, the frescoes systematically covered all facades and represented a complete cycle of religious themes. Their unique compositions, elegant figures and harmonious colors blend perfectly with the surrounding countryside. The Sucevita Monastery Church, whose interior and exterior walls are entirely decorated with 16th-century frescoes, is the only church to feature the Staircase of St. John Climacus.
