Mihai Vodă Monastery, Orthodox monastery in central Bucharest, Romania.
The church and bell tower stand between modern buildings, featuring traditional Romanian Orthodox architecture with stone walls and wooden elements.
Prince Michael the Brave founded the monastery in 1594, establishing it as a fortified complex during his military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire.
The monastery holds religious ceremonies and maintains Orthodox traditions through services, while serving as a repository of ecclesiastical manuscripts and icons.
The monastery receives visitors daily at Strada Sapienței 35, with religious services conducted according to the Romanian Orthodox calendar.
In 1985, engineers moved the entire church structure and bell tower 289 meters from their original location to preserve them from demolition.
