PMR236-12 Romania, Moldavia, Neamt Monastery: the church in the grounds was built by Stephen the Great in 1497 on the site of an older one. A repository for learning for centuries, with a valuable library, printing shop, museum and hundreds of sheep and cattle. The largest and oldest monastery in Romania. Here: a sounding iron, beaten rythmically to call to prayers. Keywords: frescoes, fortifications, defence, colourful, mediaeval, architecture, Orthodox, Christian, rustical, rural, landscape, picturesque
