<p><strong>Visit the painted monasteries of Bucovina </strong>(300 Km drive)</p>
<p>9:00 breakfast</p>
<p>10:00 departure</p>
<p><strong>The painted monasteries of Bucovina</strong> are famous worldwide for them remarkable external paintings that where to communicate to common people the divine message. A real history of the religion is concentrated on the walls of the late middle age churches.</p>
<p><strong>Moldoviţa</strong> is a fortified monastery built in 16-th century, the dominant color being red</p>
<p>The masters who painted its interior and exterior walls have decorated them with scenes from 16th century Moldavian daily life. But the most interesting painting is the Siege of Constantinople on the south facade, relating to the Romanians&#8217; fights against foreign invasions, especially Turks. The painting combines scenes of the siege of Constantinople from 1453 with others referring to a previous such attempt made by the Persians, in 626.</p>
<p><strong>Suceviţa Monastery</strong>, built in 16-th century, has the dominant color blue. The monastery in fortified with thick walls guarded by towers.</p>
<p>Paintings at Sucevita were best preserved both on the outside and on the inside.<br />
Frescoes are painted in purple red and blue against an emerald green background. There is plenty of gold too, taken from the art of miniature.</p>
<p>Situated in a valley 50 km north of Gura Humorului, <strong>Humor church</strong> was built in 1530 by Petru Rares and his high chancellor Teodor Bubuiog, on the site of a monastic complex built before 1415. The church, consecrated to the Assumption of the Virgin, is smaller than other churches of the painted monasteries and does not have any cupolas. Humor Monastery was among the first churches to be painted. Its frescoes are due to Toma of Suceava and were performed in 1535, the dominant color is yellow.</p>
<p>A convence consecrated to St.George, <strong>Voroneţ Monastery</strong>lies at walking distance from the Gura Humorului town. An old Romanian chronicle written by Ion Neculce records that Stephen the Great founded Voroneţ Monastery in 1488 to fulfill a pledge to the hermit Daniil who had encouraged the ruling prince of Moldavia to chase the Turks from Wallachia. After having won the battle against the Turks, Stephen erected Voroneţ in three months and 21 days, on the very spot Daniil had his small wooden hermitage.<br />
Its interior and exterior paintings were made later on, between 1534-1535, during prince Petru Rares&#8217; rule. The dominant color is the world famous <em>Voronet blue </em>.</p>
