I consider Stephen the Great a hero because he fought 42 wars against the Turks. Whenever he won a fight he made a monastery.

Stephen the Great had the greatest reign. He won 42 fights and lost only 2. He lived 71 years.
Here are some monasteries founded by Stephen the Great:
-Monastery Voronet
-Monastery Agapia
-Monastery Putna
-Monastery Dragomirna
-Monastery Tismana
-Monastery Moldovita
-Monastery Arbore
-Monastery Humor
-Monastery Sucevita

One of the most famous monasteries is Putna. Many tourists come to visit Romania especially for the monasteries.
