Princely Church Saint Nicholas Curtea de Argeș

The Princely Church of Saint Nicholas measures 14.55 by 23.50 meters with a tower height of 23 meters and contains four pillars in the nave.

Construction of the church began under Basarab I around 1350, continued through Nicolae Alexandru's reign, and reached completion during Vladislav I's rule in 1377.

The interior walls display preserved murals painted between 1364 and 1369, representing medieval Romanian religious art and Byzantine architectural traditions.

The church stands within the perimeter of a 13th-century court complex, 80 miles northwest of Bucharest, accessible via highways and railway connections from Pitești.

The church structure includes a narrow narthex of 2.80 meters and a spacious nave of 11.80 by 12.40 meters with three distinct eastern apses.
