Biserica Mănăstirii "Stavropoleos"
Biserica Mănăstirii "Stavropoleos", Romanian Orthodox church in central Bucharest, Romania.
The Biserica Mănăstirii Stavropoleos is an Orthodox church located in central Bucharest, built in the distinctive Brancoveanu style. The structure features detailed stonework, wall paintings, and elaborate ornamentation across its exterior and interior spaces.
The church was established in 1724 and built as part of a monastic complex during Nicolae Mavrocordat's rule. A Greek archimandrite played a leading role in founding and shaping this religious center.
The interior displays craftsmanship typical of Romanian Orthodox sacred spaces, with intricate wood carvings and painted religious figures visible throughout. These decorative traditions reflect centuries of spiritual practice within the community.
The building is located in Sector 3 and welcomes visitors daily who wish to spend time in prayer or observe the interior. Wearing respectful clothing is advisable, and it helps to verify opening hours before visiting.
The church was originally connected to an inn that provided lodging for travelers, making the monastic complex an economic hub. This combination of religious and practical services was uncommon for the period.
