Route of monasteries in the Moldavia

On the Monasteries Route in Moldova, we deeply encounter the Romanian heritage, built, crafted, or narrated. Both foreigners and Romanians alike are called by the toll of the bell, and we bow our heads at the sound of the morning chants. We seek shelter just like the pious rulers of yore and enrich ourselves with the beauty of mural paintings in red at Humor, yellow at Coșula, or green at Arbore.

Here, we discover the most inspired paintings, the most intricate embroideries, all laid out over long years of craftsmanship and prayer. Treasures of the Romanian national heritage, some have recently received UNESCO recognition, and we, as travelers, respectfully cross their threshold.
