This church perched on a mound is an important monument of the Romanian faith. Founded in 1658 by the voivode Constantin Șerban, it became the church of the Metropolitan of Wallachia a few years later, and the cathedral of the patriarchate in 1925. The building is rather massive, with an arcaded façade and three bell towers, added in 1698 by Constantin Brâncoveanu. The interior ornamentation is impressive, but perhaps most fascinating of all is the fervor displayed within. Next door, the Patriarchate Palace houses the headquarters of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Bel ensemble qui domine la ville
Belle cathédrale mais qui était fermée (pas notre visite possible) lors de notre passage en février 2023. Dommage. Pour information, un panneau à l'entrée du site indique qu'il est interdit de prendre des photos.

A visiter - Patriarcat roumain
Très belle ensemble en haut d’une colline, haut lieu de la religion Orthodoxe roumaine, très belle église Orthodoxe avec nombre de reliques. Assister à une messe est une expérience assez magique spirituellement.
