Project idea summary: 

The Sucevita-Putna micro-region is established in an ancient and dense hearth of civilization and Romanian culture.
The micro-region is loaded with history and legends. From the north to the eastern side, almost every commune has a heritage site: monastery, church, memorial buildings. The exterior frescoes of Humor, Arbore (Arbore green), Suceviţa (green and red of Sucevita), the rich medieval art museums, the beauty of the landscape and the folk artistic creation led to the inclusion of these monasteries in the UNESCO- Great monuments of the world.
The old church in Putna is the oldest and only medieval wood church, known to date, preserved on the territory of Romania. Its exceptional age and archaic plan give it an invaluable value to the medieval architecture of our country
