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.

Mânăstirea Arbore (1503), ctitorită de Luca Arbore, mare vornic al lui Ștefan cel Mare, face parte din patrimoniul UNESCO. Frescele exterioare dominate de verdele-Arbore, o culoare unică obținută din plante, și scena Judecății de Apoi sunt capodopere medievale.
