Frumoasa Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Frumoasa, Moldova.
The monastery complex includes a church with four symmetrical towers, a Doric portico entrance, and an encompassing defensive stone wall.
Built in 1804, the monastery underwent significant reconstruction between 1812 and 1842, incorporating Russian architectural elements such as the onion-bulb tower roof.
The interior features eight marble columns supporting a ceiling with frescoes depicting the family of Prince Gregory II Ghica and important church synods.
The monastery returned to its religious function in 2003 after serving various purposes including military barracks and a specialized ophthalmology hospital.
Before 1863, this religious institution controlled 16 properties across Moldova, Bucovina, and Bessarabia, making it one of the region's wealthiest monasteries.
