Dealul Mitropoliei, Religious monument at Patriarchate Hill, Bucharest, Romania.
The Romanian Patriarchal Cathedral stands atop a hill alongside the Patriarchal Palace, Bell Tower, and Palace of the Chamber of Deputies.
In the mid-19th century, 30,000 people gathered at this location to support Alexandru Ioan Cuza's election as prince of Moldavia and Wallachia.
The Romanian Patriarchal Cathedral, built between 1654 and 1658, holds the relics of Saint Dimitrie Basarabov and functions as the center of Romanian Orthodoxy.
The monument complex remains open daily for visitors, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the Patriarchal Palace and Cathedral.
A solar-powered noon cannon operated on this hill from 1845 until its destruction during the Wallachian Revolution of 1848.
