Plumbuita Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Bucharest, Romania.
The monastery stretches across 37,000 square meters and features a central church, bell tower, Royal Palace, monk cells, kitchen, and refectory within its perimeter.
Prince Vlad VI Înecatul established the monastery in 1531, initiating construction after sending opposing boyars to support military efforts in Moldova.
The first printing press in Bucharest operated at the monastery in 1582, producing two Tetra-evangelicals and a Psalter under the Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia.
The monastery stands at 58 Plumbuita Street in sector 2 of Bucharest and maintains its status as an active religious center under Romanian Orthodox administration.
The monastery contains a secret underground passage built by Matei Basarab connecting it to the Royal Court for secure travel during periods of conflict.
