I was injured during a visit to Romania last fall (my own fault), but as we drove back to Bucharest from Maramures, I asked my guide to stop here. I could not leave Romania without seeing this amazing building. It defies any conventional architectural label - the towers are truly unique and the mandalas on the side of the building are very curious (why were they put there?) The interior defies description - the floor to ceiling frescoes are amazing, as are the tombs of Romania's rulers, and we even received a blessing while there (I needed one badly at that time!) Lovely, historical site, set in a grove of trees. Just sorry we missed seeing Horezu, but there's always a next time!

I transited Arges and then drove via Transfagarasanu towards Sighisoara. I always wanted to visit the Curtea de Arges Cathedral. This is a sanctuary of religion and Romanian history (as well as of architectural).I recommend you buy a booklet in your own language with the history of the place in order to understand the importance of the place.Do not miss this place if you are in the area.I would avoid visiting on Sundays or Feast days.

Curtea de Arges was once the capital of Wallachia and its most famous building was the Episcopal Church (or Curtea de Arges cathedral) built in 1512 within the grounds of the monastery. Its elaborate design feautres two domes and a pair of twisted cupolas with twisted windows set atop a box-like building adorned with tiers of niches and arabesque motifs. According to the legend, the chief architect Manole was forced to entomb his wife in the walls of the church to keep the building from collapsing – popular belief at the time held that ghosts were required to keep buildings from falling down. The builders agreed that whoever’s wife came first would have to be sacrificed. But Manole’s men all warned their wives. So it was only Manole’s wife who arrived, bringing his lunch for him. Upon completion of the building, the church’s patron, Neagoe Basarab, left Manole and his fellow workers on the roof to ensure they never built a greater church. The whole group fell to their deaths attempting to fly using wooden wings made from the roofing shingles. It was also where the tombs of King Carol I and queen Elizabeth, and the next king Ferdinand and wife Maria lay. Outside was the tomb of Ferdinand II. If you're after religious items, don't forget the souvenir shop on the grounds. A really remarkable building, laced by a remarkable legend, and a fantastic retreat from a hectic tour.

The visit doesn take more than one hour. We take a view to the garden around and behind church.We enjoyed more from view around.

It doesn`t make any great impression on me. I wouldn`t regret if I just drove trough. Not worth spending a lot of time there.

Please try to go around this cathedral.You will enjoy this garden and in the backside there is a place you can put fire on candles. No matter you are religious or not. This is something interesting to see. I am not christian but I enjoyed the atmosphere. And the road to approach this cathedral is unique too.

One of the most beautiful Romanian monasteries. It is the place where King Carol the 1st of Romania, Queen Elizabeth and King Ferdinand are buried. Amazing architecture and atmosphere.
