Putna Monastery is located about 70 kilometers from the city of Suceava and is part of the so-called Moldavian monasteries, a group of Romanian Orthodox monasteries in southern Bukovina.

According to a legend told by the historian Ion Neculce, before founding the monastery, Stephen the Great shot an arrow from a mountain into the nearby Carpathian valley. The prince decided to build an altar at the spot where his arrow landed. Afterwards, Prince Stephen had the monastery built between 1466 and 1469.

The monastery was consecrated on September 3, 1470. At that time, Putna Monastery was a flourishing cultural center. Between the 15th and 16th centuries, clergy and chroniclers from the region were trained there.
