The Probota Monastery (31 km from Falticeni),one of the most beautiful medieval art monuments, was erected by Petru Rares in 1530 and painted in 1532. It is situated close to the ruins of one of Alexandru cel Bun's foundations. Stefan cel Mare's mother, Lady Oltea, and his first wife, Lady Evdochia were initially buried here. Petru Rares moved them in the church he founded.
