Ciorogârla-Samurcășești monastery, Historic monastery in Ciorogârla, Romania.

The monastery complex features three altars within its church structure, incorporating architectural elements of brick and stone along its walls.

Constantin Samurcas established the monastery in 1808 on his land in Ciorogârla village, located 15 kilometers from Bucharest.

The interior paintings completed by artist Gheorghe Tattarescu in 1870 represent religious scenes through Romanian artistic traditions.

The monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the year, with special ceremonies during Orthodox Christian celebrations.

Following the 1940 earthquake damage, the entire church structure underwent reconstruction from 1941 to 1943 under architect Ion Cernescu's direction.
