One of our favourites along with Moldovita
Voronet Monastery built in 1488, its superb frescoes were added between 1547 and 1550 have led Voronet being dubbed the “Oriental Sistine Chapel”. We visited all the painted monasteries in the area and this was one of our favourites. Apart from the North Wall, the exterior paintings are still very much intact. Inside, the quality of the art is astounding. Due to its location it is one of the more popular sites although at the time of our visit in mid October, it was relatively quiet. There is a car park a short walk away where you are charged 2 leu. There are also toilets here.
