Golia Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Iași, Romania
The Renaissance-style monastery features high stone walls with corner towers and a central bell tower reaching 30 meters in height.
Prince Vasile Lupu and his son Stefanita led the construction of the monastery church between 1650 and 1653 on a sixteenth-century religious site.
The monastery complex contains the Trinitas Cultural-Missionary Institute, which operates a publishing house, printing facilities, and a radio station.
Visitors can climb 120 steps to reach the top of the bell tower, which formerly served as a fire observation point for the city.
Royal marriage ceremonies took place in the monastery church, including Constantin Duca with Maria Brancoveanu in 1693 and Antioh Cantemir with Catrina in 1696.
