An impressive site
The fortified church’s massive, whitewashed walls and steep grey roofs gives the place a feeling of great grandeur and is one of the largest of the painted monasteries in the area. Its frescoes – painted in 1596 by two brothers – offset brilliant reds and blues with an undercoat of emerald green. The setting the foot of surrounding hills, carpeted with firs and lush pastures is very picturesque and by virtue of its location is more popular with visitors. There is parking nearby. 10 leu entrance per person in line with other similar buildings.

Impressive
A fortress church with a really thick wall surrounding it. The wall paintings both inside and outside are impressive with the colour green being more prominent than other church painting we had seen. The church is very high so the acoustics are really good. We were lucky enough to here the pure voices of the Nuns singing as a service was in progress while we visited.
