Romania UNESCO Sites in Pictures

Romania’s UNESCO heritage in photos: painted monasteries and fortified churches. In Bukovina, Voroneț Monastery is one of the painted churches of Moldavia. Its outer walls are covered in 16th-century frescoes in a deep shade called Voroneț blue, including a large Last Judgement. In Transylvania, Saxon villagers turned their churches into fortresses. Biertan’s church stands on a hill behind three rings of walls. In Prejmer, more than 250 storage rooms line the thick walls, where families could shelter during sieges. All photos come from sites we have visited and described. Open any place to see it on the map, check the weather and plan how to get there.
