Râmeț Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Valea Mănăstirii, Romania.
The monastery complex includes two churches situated in a mountain valley of Alba County, surrounded by limestone cliffs of Trascău Mountains.
The monastery dates back to the 13th century, with interior frescoes painted in multiple layers between 1300 and 1809, marking different periods of restoration.
The old church contains rare medieval frescoes painted by artist Mihu in 1483, representing Orthodox religious art specific to Transylvanian architecture.
Located 34 kilometers from Alba-Iulia and 18 kilometers from Teiuș, the monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the year.
The entire church building was elevated by 2.08 meters during restoration works to prevent moisture damage, preserving its original medieval structure.
