Sucevita Monastery

Post by Anatol » Thu Apr 12, 2018 9:07 pm

In 1585 the monastery of Sucevitsa was built, the outer walls of which were also decorated with frescoes. Like other monasteries, Sucevitsa combines elements of Byzantine and Gothic architecture, and frescoes use stories from the Old and New Testaments. Probably, it was the last monastery, decorated in this way. Frescoes date from the beginning of the 17th century. Sucevitsa differs from other monasteries in that here not only monks lived, but also knew. In 1969, the Romanian Post issued a stamp depicting a medieval carraсk ship depicted on a fresco of a monastery. For more details about carrack see: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10705
