Built by Prince Stephen the Great in 1466, Putna Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox monastery that houses the tombs of Stephen and many of his family members. This is one of the most significant cultural and artistic religious centers to be established in medieval Moldavia, and the tombstones are prime examples of Moldavian art during that time. What visitors see in the monastery’s architecture presently is a combination of its original structure and the renovations that were added by Vasile Lupu in the 17th century. Visitors of the monastery must be sure to see one of the oldest pieces of embroidery, an epitaphion made from gold thread and silk in the 14th century.
