	PUTNA MONASTERY / MANASTIREA PUTNA - english summary
		The beginnings of Putna Monastery, the most important religious, cultural and artistic centre in mediaeval Moldavia, take us back to the year 1466 when, upon the initiative of Prince Stephen the Great (1457-1504), a church of impressive dimensions was built on a patch of forest cleared for the purpose.
		In 1653, the church, which had been built in the 15th century, was pulled down to its foundations and replaced in 1654-1662 by a new building which, with slight alterations, has lasted to this day.
		The outer walls of the monastery, first erected in 1481, were successively rebuilt in the mid-seventeenth (1654-1662), eighteenth (1757-1760) and nineteenth (1854-1856) centuries, when the constructors built the new walls on the old foundations dating from the 15th century.

	PUTNA IN THE LIGHT OF CHRONICLES
		In the Anonymous Chronicle of Moldavia, it is said that, after the Fortress of Chilia was conquered in January 1465, Stephen the Great came back with his army to Suceava, ordering the archbishop, the bishops and the rest of the priests to ‘thank God for the victory that was bestowed on him…”.
		The church was finished at the end of 1469, but the campaigns that the voivode undertook in Transylvania, as well as the raids of the Tartars from 1469 and 1470 prevented him from dedicating it until 3rd September 1470.
		Destined to be a princely necropolis, the church of Putna Monastery had been opened as such ever since December 1477, when Princess Maria Mangop, the voivode’s second wife, was buried on the left side of the burial vault.
