    Frescoed monasteries

    Posted by deliawinkle 14 April 2006

    This Unesco heritage site features medieval monasteries which are painted on the OUTSIDE.

    Remarkably, most of them have kept their colour well, apart from the North Eastern walls which take the brunt of the Siberian winds. A unique shade of blue was used for Voronet monastery, now lending its name to the colour.

    You need a car to get around all of them or alternatively, hire a Romanian guide to show you round the area.
