Romania. Churches of Moldavia



Date of Inscription: 1993
Criteria: (i)(iv)
Property : 17.0900 ha
Buffer zone: 198.2200 ha
County of Suceava, Region of Moldavia

Ref: 598  

With their painted exterior walls, decorated with 15th- and 16th-century frescoes that are considered masterpieces of Byzantine art, these seven churches in northern Moldavia are unique in Europe. Far from being merely wall decorations, the paintings represent complete cycles of religious murals on all facades. Their outstanding composition, elegant outline and harmonious colours blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape.
