Jitianu Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Braniște, Romania.
The Jitianu Monastery features a cross-shaped church with a cylindrical dome and a substantial bell tower constructed in Brancovan architectural style.
The monastery dates back to the 14th century when Mircea the Old established a wooden church following his triumph at the Battle of Rovine.
The monastery holds a collection of wooden and glass icons, representing traditional Romanian Orthodox religious art and craftsmanship.
The religious complex stands on the outskirts of Braniște village along the Calafat road, with regular prayer services and guided visits available.
During the 1877 Independence War, the monastery functioned as an ammunition storage facility and its cells served as a hospital for Roman soldiers.
