Description

Another objective which needs to be visited in relation to Putna Monastery is the cell of Daniil Sihastrul, not far away from confluence of Putna with Vițeu stream. The name of this hermit is related to that of Stephen since he was considered the counsellor of the prince in times of hardship for Moldavia. This counsellor carved himself in stone the cell where he lived, and towards the end of his days he will go to Voroneț Monastery, where he will be buried.
