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.
Suzana Monastery, founded in 1740, is hidden in a wild valley among the Prahova hills. The votive painting and old icons, together with the tranquillity of the place, make Suzana a destination of spiritual significance.
