Curtea de Argeș

Curtea de Argeș stands at 417 meters elevation on the Argeș River banks, amid the Southern Carpathian mountains near the Făgăraș range.

The city served as Wallachia's first capital until the 16th century, establishing itself as a central authority point before power shifted to Târgoviște.

The Royal Church from the 14th century represents essential Byzantine architecture in Romania and maintains its position on UNESCO's indicative list.

The Municipal Museum displays 12,000 artifacts, including 300 National Cultural Heritage pieces, with visits available Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM.

The Curtea de Argeș Monastery, constructed in 1512 by Neagoe Basarab, features distinctive tower designs and interior wall paintings from the period.
