Chiajna Monastery, Orthodox monastery ruins in Chiajna, Romania.
The monastery stretches 43 meters in length with walls reaching two meters in thickness, featuring an unfinished neoclassical architectural design and exposed stone elements.
The construction started during Alexander Ypsilanti's reign in 1772 and reached completion in 1790, before Ottoman forces targeted the structure.
The monastery walls display ancient inscriptions and architectural motifs that represent the fusion of Romanian Orthodox and neoclassical building traditions.
Visitors need private transportation to reach this free admission site, as public transit options remain limited in the Giulesti-Sarbi district.
A mysterious formation on the entrance wall bears a natural resemblance to a human figure, leading to numerous interpretations among local residents.
