Stelea Monastery, Târgoviște, Orthodox monastery in Târgoviște, Romania.

The monastery complex consists of the Church of the Resurrection, an abbot's residence, monk cells, and surrounding walls with traces of ancient dwellings.

Built in the 16th century by merchant Stelea, the monastery underwent reconstruction in 1645 under Moldavian Prince Vasile Lupu, who added new structures.

The church architecture displays Moldavian design elements, making it the only church in Wallachia that follows the model of Three Hierarchs Church in Iași.

Located at 6 Stelea Street in Târgoviște, the monastery contains a bell tower from the 16th century and a gate structure from the 17th century.

The abbot's residence, reconstructed in 1975, stands upon foundations dating from three different centuries: the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries.
