Old Orhei (Orheiul Vechi) with orthodox church
Old Orhei is one of Moldovas most fantastic sites. The Orheiul Vechi Monastery Complex is carved into a massive limestone cliff in this wild, rocky, remote spot. The Cave Monastery, inside a cliff overlooking the Raut River, was dug by Orthodox monks in the 13th century. It remained inhabited until the 18th century, and in 1996 a handful of monks returned and began restoring it.Old Orhei was added to the Unesco world heritage tentative list in 2014

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Old Orhei (Orheiul Vechi), one of Moldova's most extraordinary sites. Nestled in a remote and rugged landscape, this ancient monastery complex is an architectural marvel carved into a massive limestone cliff. The Cave Monastery, constructed by Orthodox monks in the 13th century, stands proudly on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the majestic Raut River. Abandoned for centuries, this sacred place regained its spiritual significance when a few devoted monks returned in 1996 to restore it to its former glory. Today, Old Orhei stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's grandeur. As you gaze upon this idyllic scene captured by Frans Sellies' lens, you can't help but be enchanted by the serene atmosphere surrounding the monastery. The lush green grass and wildflowers add vibrant colors to this picturesque landscape while sunlight gently illuminates every detail. The iconic onion dome of the church rises majestically against the clear blue sky, symbolizing Russian Orthodox spirituality that has thrived here for centuries. This UNESCO World Heritage site holds immense cultural and historical value for Moldova. Frans Sellies' photography skillfully portrays not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of tranquility and awe-inspiring wonder that permeates through Old Orhei's extreme terrain. Whether you are an admirer of natural landscapes or fascinated by religious architecture, this print will transport you to a world where
