Hagigadar monastery, Armenian monastery in Bulai, Romania.
The monastery stands on a round hilltop in the middle of a valley, featuring an octagonal steeple with windows aligned to cardinal points.
Construction of the monastery occurred between 1512 and 1513 during the reign of Bogdan the Blind, following the vision of Drăgan Donavac.
The monastery celebrates the Assumption of Mary with a pilgrimage led by the Armenian parson from Suceava before August 15th each year.
The monastery complex includes a refectory, covered well, bell tower, and six gates within its enclosure walls for visitor access.
The interior holds historical icons, including a revered icon of Saint Mary and depictions of evangelists with Slavonic and Romanian inscriptions.
