Putna Monastery, Northeast Romania, Romania

4.5 (131 reviews) Wednesday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #1 in Northeast Romania Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites

Beautifully preserved landmark of Romanian Christianity

Must see for Romanian orthodox pilgrims and for lovers of art & history. The interior of the main church and the architecture are very beautiful. The inside paintings of the church were restored in the 2000s. Free entrance to the church, but no pictures / videos are allowed inside (only outside for a few of 10 RON). Museum available for visit against a fee. A nice shop outside the entrance with souvenirs, religious books and the like, cash only. Fair road to it, but pay attention to the other monastery located only a few km down the road, not to mix the locations by the GPS. Several accommodation and eating places nearby. No street sellers, at least at the moment of our visit (5-6 PM on 01.01).

Always impressed
I lost count on the number of times I was there, but I am constantly impressed by the incredible power and beauty of the place. This time I was quite shocked that the guardian at the entrance imperatively asked us to remove our face masks at the entrance, totally against the law in a pandemic situation. It was also rude an impolite. But this has nothing to do with the majestic and solemn place that we were visiting.
