The Painted Monasteries of Bukovina, placed on UNESCO'S World Heritage list, are among the most beautiful treasures of Romania. Their painted exterior walls are decorated with elaborate 15th and 16th century frescoes featuring portraits of saints and prophets, scenes from the life of Jesus, images of angels and demons, and heaven and hell. Deemed masterpieces of Byzantine art, these churches are one-of-a-kind architectural sites in Europe.
