This 16th-century painted monastery boasts thousands of images against a green background.

A fortress church with a really thick wall surrounding it. The wall paintings both inside and outside are impressive with the colour green being more prominent than other church painting we had seen. The church is very high so the acoustics are really good. We were lucky enough to here the pure voices of the Nuns singing as a service was in progress while we visited.

These monasteries are a must visit for anyone wanted a taste of the real romania. Dedicated by Stefan Cel Mare after victories in battle, they are covered in intricate and beautiful artwork. The paint used is a natural recipe that cannot be recreated, making them hard to maintain and protect. Despite this, they are beautiful and complex and the fading from the wind in some sense only makes them more interesting. There is also "graffiti" (carvings in the stone walls on some of the monasteries), some of them from over 200 years ago, that is interesting to see.

Founded in 1532, this monastery's frescoes recreate the siege of Constantinople.

This monastery is placed in a wonderful landscape, the walls built from river stone are decorated with bricks and connect the rounded towers who defended the church many centuries. Inside you will discover a small museum where they have the real trone of Petru Rares and an award from UNESCO - Pomme d'Or.

This painted nun monastery is often referred to as the "Sistine Chapel of the East."

We stayed in Suceava, in NE Romania and visited several painted monasteries in the surrounding area. The monastery in Voronet was the best preserved one we visited. Extraordinary frescoes adorn the exterior and the interior of the church. The monastery is surrounded by beautifully kept flower beds. If you only have time to visit one painted monastery, I highly recommend the Voronet Monastery.

The architecture is amazing, the place is central and has an amazing history. I believe it is a must see in Iasi.

Reviewed By TERRAvelista - London, United Kingdom
After visiting the Palace with the mall, St Nicholas church and Dosoftei house, then another church, we decided to make a stop here. The Cathedral is very big and housed on well maintained grounds and there were lots of people on the Thursday we visited it. Inside you can relax in the cool interior and pay your respects or simply watch the groups queuing to their patron saint laid here for everyone to see. People are very nice and friendly and greatful even for helping them with the many steps.

If you go to Iasi, you cannot miss this place. Beautiful Palace that you can visit inside because it has 4 museums and and also the clock tower (that plays Hora unirii at every hour).
