Viforâta monastery, Orthodox monastery in Viforâta, Romania
The monastery features a church measuring 21 meters in length and 24 meters in height, with stone decorations adorning its exterior walls.
Founded in the 15th century by Vladislav Voievod Basarab, the monastery underwent substantial renovations under Constantin Brâncoveanu between 1712 and 1713.
The interior walls preserve fragments of Brâncovan-era frescoes, while the most recent paintings were completed by V. Georgescu in 1913.
Located 7 kilometers from Târgoviște, the monastery maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in Romanian Orthodox traditions.
The monastery survived multiple earthquakes in 1802, 1938, 1940, and 1977, leading to extensive restoration work that integrated modern facilities.
