Pasărea monastery, Orthodox monastery in Pasărea village, Ilfov County, Romania.

The monastery complex includes two churches, a cemetery church, an ossuary, and 67 cells accommodating 180 nuns in traditional living quarters.

Founded in 1813 during Caragea Vodă's reign, the monastery began with a wooden church dedicated to Saint Nicholas built by Archimandrite Timotei.

The interior paintings display neo-Byzantine frescoes created by monks from Cernica Monastery and Romanian painters trained at Mount Athos.

The monastery maintains workshops for traditional crafts, including embroidery, ceramics, and enamel work, where visitors can observe artisanal production.

During World War I, the monastery transformed into a field hospital for wounded soldiers, marking the beginning of its charitable activities.
