Voronet monastery tower is visible through the trees in an autumn day. Voronet is a monastery from Romania, located in the town of Gura Humorului, Moldavia. It is one of the famous painted monasteries from southern Bucovina, in Suceava County. Between May and September 1488, Stephen III of Moldavia (known as Stephen the Great, ) built the Voronet Monastery to commemorate the victory of the Battle of Vaslui. Often known as the Sistine Chapel of the East, the frescoes at Voronet feature an intense shade of blue known in Romania as Voronet blue. |
