A jewel-box monastery hiding in Bucharest's noisiest bar street — carved stone columns and absolute silence

A tiny, exquisitely carved 18th-century monastery hidden in the old town. The ornate Brâncovenesc-style stone porch with its twisted columns and carved foliate motifs is the finest in Bucharest. An unexpected oasis of calm in the noisiest district.
