Putna Commune: Hotels and Accommodations

Putna Monastery was built by Ștefan cel Mare between 1466 and 1469. Until the time of Petru Rareș, Putna Monastery became the princely necropolis for members of its founder’s family. Shortly after its consecration, it became an important center of Romanian culture and art.
