Romanian Orthodox monastery built in the 1500s. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Saint John the New Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox monastery in Suceava, Romania. Built between 1514 and 1522, the monastery church is one of eight buildings that make up the churches of Moldavia UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is also listed as a historic monument by the country's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. Its construction began during the reign of voivode Bogdan III the One-Eyed of Moldavia, after the nearby Mirăuți Church was devastated in 1513. The construction was completed by Stephen IV of Moldavia. The monastery church served as metropolitan cathedral of Moldavia until 1677 and, since 1991, it serves as the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuți. The church is dedicated to Saint George and it has frescoes painted on the outside, typical of the region.

Cetatea de Scaun a Sucevei
Walking from Piata Unirii, take the park path to the right of the McDonald's and follow it up the stairs to a dirt road that runs through the village museum. When it ends, walk to the left along the paved road a few hundred metres. It was begun by Prince Peter I in the 14th century, and improved by Stefan the Great in the 15th century. It was never conquered in fighting by the attackers. It has been well restored and is worth visiting. Ask at the ticket office for a brochure with explanations in English. Guided tours are available. There are various interactive exhibits, but many of them are not functioning in September 2018.
