Suceava served as the capital of the Principality of Moldavia for nearly two centuries, from 1388 to the mid-16th century, and its medieval past remains visible in a reconstructed fortress and the UNESCO-listed Saint John the New Monastery. The city in northeastern Romania sits on the Suceava River and is a practical base for visiting the wider region's painted monasteries. An Austrian-era Administrative Palace and the Roman Catholic Saint John of Nepomuk church also stand in the historic centre.
