| Six hundred nuns live at Varatec Monastery. The complex houses an icon museum and a small embroidery school. The grave of poet Veronica Micle, Mihai Eminescu's great love, lies within the monastery walls. She committed suicide on August 1889, two months after Eminescu's death. | |||||||||||||||||||||
