The 'Sistine Chapel of the East' — frescoes covering entire exterior walls in a blue that chemists still can't reproduce

Romania's most remarkable artistic treasure — 15th and 16th-century monasteries with their exterior walls completely covered in elaborate biblical frescoes. Voroneț (the 'Sistine Chapel of the East') has a famous shade of blue that chemists still can't reproduce. Humor, Moldovița, and Sucevița are equally breathtaking. UNESCO World Heritage.
