Did you know that in the 1950s Radauti used to be a county? Today, Radauti belongs to the region of Bucovina and to the county of Suceava. But these facts are less important when we are thinking of visiting town. The true question is: What do we visit in Radauti?
Bucovina is famous for its beautiful monasteries. Close to Radauti, you can visit two renowned monasteries: Putna si Sucenita. Putna Monastery is the most famous (and the first) church founded by Stephen the Great. It also serves as the ruler’s final resting place. Built at the end of the 16th century, Sucevita Monastery is located less than 20 km away from Radauti and illustrates the unique painting and architectural Moldavian style.
