Must stop on your way to of from the Transfagarasan Highway
This is an ancient, but perfectly maintained monastery church, perhaps the most important of Romania. The garden is magnificent, and the intricately carved bizantine exterior. It's the resting place of nmany Walachia voivodes. Beautiful, lively frescoes and icons.

Gorgeous
Absolutely gorgeous monastery area, the church obviously being the main attraction. It's worth the trip for sure. Photography is allowed with a small fee. There is also a "gift shop" inside a bigger, more plain looking church.
