| The VoroneÃ⺠Monastery is a medieval monastery in the Romanian village of VoroneÃ
£, now a part of the town Gura Humorului. It is one of the famous painted monasteries from southern Bukovina, in Suceava County.The monastery was constructed by Stephen the Great in 1488 over a period of 3 months and 3 weeks to commemorate the victory at Battle of Vaslui. Often known as the Sistine Chapel of the East, the frescoes at VoroneÃ⺠feature an intense shade of blue known in Romania as VoroneÃ⺠blue. The monastery is located to the south of Gura Humorului in Suceava County, in the valley of the VoroneÃ⺠River. The legend of the origin of the church unites two men central to Romanian history: the founder of the monastery, Stephen the Great, and Saint Daniil the Hermit, the first abbot of the monastery. |
