Excellent and well preserved church with detailed ornate interior
Excellent and well preserved church. Detailed and fascinating interior. It seemed aceptable to take photographs and the light was also good for this. A very quiet and calm place. We were the only visitors at the time we were there, unusual for such a large attraction. Well worth a look.

Architecture standing for 5 centuries.
Built the 15 hundreds, almost 5 centuries ago , by the order of the Wallachian king Petru Cercel , it is the "Royal" church of the court of Targoviste (Targoviste was the capital of the Wallachian kingdom through the centuries). So it is fairly small , compared to other churches or cathedrals, still what is missing in size it definitely makes up for when it comes to its historical importance and the decorations inside. The paintings are pretty well preserved and although the Royal court and palace is in ruins , the church still stands tall beside the former palace ... for those interested in Wallachian architecture, this is a very fine piece to check-out. So when you are visiting the former Royal court ... check out the church ... it is worth a few minutes and several pics.
