Radu Vodă Monastery, Orthodox monastery in central Bucharest, Romania

The monastery includes a large stone church with traditional Romanian architectural elements and multiple exterior frescoes depicting religious scenes and saints.

Established in 1567 by ruler Alexandru II Mircea, the monastery experienced multiple reconstructions after Ottoman forces used it as a mosque in 1595.

The monastery maintains a collection of religious manuscripts and objects from the 16th century, representing Romanian Orthodox heritage and traditions.

Located at 24A Radu Vodă Street in Sector 4, the monastery holds regular services and allows visitors to explore its grounds daily.

Archaeological discoveries beneath the monastery reveal fortifications from the Getae-Dacian period, indicating ancient strategic settlement on this hill.
