Moldavia (Bukovina) is located in the northeastern part of Romania. The region is famous for its painted monasteries. Their painted exterior walls were decorated mainly in the 15th- and 16th-centuries. Among them seven churches - Patrauti Monastery, Humor Monastery, Arbore Monastery, Voronet Monastery, Moldovita Monastery, Probota Monastery and Church of St George in Suceava - were inscribed on UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993. These seven churches in northern Moldavia are unique in Europe. There frescoes represent complete cycles of religious murals on all facades and they are considered masterpieces of Byzantine Art.
