About Stavropoleos Monastery
Stavropoleos Monastery, also called as Stravropoleos Church, was my most favourite landmarks during the Old Town City Walking Tour in Bucharest. It is an Eastern Orthodox monastery in the Old Town of Bucharest and is quite an amazing monument. Founded by a Greek monk, it is said that the church was built in 1724. It is supposedly a masterpiece of Brancovan architectural style.

The doors, paintings and the walls of the monastery look really beautiful portraying the old and ancient beauty of monuments. The courtyard outside also has tombstones dating back to the 18th century as well. A definitely a must-visit while in Bucharest.
