Monaster Stavropoleos

The Stavropoleos Monastery is a thousand-year-old monument in the heart of Bucharest, stunning in its unique Brâncovenesc architectural style, combining Byzantine, Ottoman and Renaissance elements.

Founded in 1724 by a Greek monk, it offers a fascinating journey back in time. The interior of the temple, though small, impresses with beautiful frescoes and rich decorations.

A courtyard surrounded by elaborate columns conceals a small inner courtyard with fragments of ancient tombstones and sacred elements, creating an oasis of calm in a bustling city.
