Church of the Holy Cross in Patrauti

This mural-covered UNESCO World Heritage Site is the oldest surviving religious site founded by Stephen the Great.

About

The Church of the Holy Cross was founded as a monastery by Stephen the Great in 1487, with vibrant murals being added to the interior and exterior around 1550. In 1775 the region was annexed by the the Habsburg Empire, and the monastery turned into a parish church. Of the original monastic complex, only the wooden bell tower and church remain. It’s still possible to see some of the external murals on the church’s western facade, while the interior is well preserved and nearly completely covered with colorful murals.
