Romania
Humor Monastery
The frescoes that completely cover this UNESCO World Heritage Site were meant to tell religious stories to the illiterate.
About
Founded in 1530, the church’s lack of a steeple indicates it was the work of a court official rather than a prince. Regardless of who founded it, it’s the paintings from 1535 that earned the church recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since many of the locals were illiterate, the church covered itself in artwork in order to convey religious stories and morals to the masses. The south side of the church is the best preserved, and a discerning eye will recognize scenes from The Last Judgement, the Annunciation, and the Return of the Prodigal Son. One particular oddity to look for is the “humorous” depiction of the devil as a woman. Along with the murals, the monastery also houses an extremely valuable collection of 16th century icons. The Defense tower nearby was built by Prince Vasile Lupu in 1641, and offers great views of the surroundings. Please note that the monastery requires respectful attire- for visitors in shorts or short-sleeves, cover-ups are provided at the entrance.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
