Humor - Humor Monastery
Orthodox monastery in Suceava county
What it feels like
Beeswax candles, the faint scent of incense, the distant chant from inside. Quiet courtyards walled against the rest of the world.
Humor Monastery (1530), included in the UNESCO heritage, is remarkable for the dominant brick-red of its exterior paintings and the unique scene of the Siege of Constantinople. The Old Slavonic foundation inscription and the portrait of founder Toader Bubuiog are valuable.
Best time to visit
