Surrounded by an imposing fortification wall, it was built between 1690 and 1695 by Prince Mihai Cantacuzino, on his return from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Sinai, hence its name. A new church with a red façade is part of the ensemble. It was restored in 1903 by the French architect Lecomte du Nouÿ, who modernized it by adding ceramics, enamels and paintings. The older, smaller church is in the Brâncovenesc style. The Sinaia monastery is also home to the first Bible translated into Romanian (written in Cyrillic), dating from 1668.

Un des plus beaux monastères de Roumanie. Situé au cœur de sinaia, parking gratuit devant le monastère. Composé d'une église en brique et d'un petit cloitre blanc avec une autre petite église. Endroit au calme et reposant.
