Mănăstirea Mărcuța, Orthodox monastery in eastern Bucharest, Romania.
The monastery complex includes fortified walls, original 16th-century wall paintings, and multiple buildings surrounding the main church of Saints Michael and Gabriel.
Built in 1587 by logofăt Dan during Mihnea Turcitul's reign, the monastery received its name from armașul Marcu, whose daughter Vișana later renovated the structure.
The interior walls preserve fragments of 16th-century religious paintings depicting armașul Marcu and traditional Orthodox Christian scenes from that period.
Located at 8 Biserica Mărcuța Street in Sector 2 of Bucharest, the monastery stands near Lake Fundeni and Pantelimon Hospital.
Between 1839 and 1920, the monastery housed the first mental hospital in Wallachia, where poet Mihai Eminescu received mercury-based treatments.
