Beautiful orthodox monastery
Schitul Darvari
Why locals love it
Built in 1834 by a wealthy family (Darvari), the church was initially a small house of prayer later transformed into a nuns’ convent and subsequently into a monks’ monastery. Closed under the communist rule, it was reopened in 1996.
Why you should visit it
The monastery has a beautiful and quiet garden worth a visit especially in the hot summer days, when you can rest under the shadow of a centuries-old linden tree. It is very close to other attractions, such as "Grădina Icoanei” park.
Special tip
A small relic from the earthly remains of Saint John Chrysostom (“the Golden-Mouthed”) is kept in the church, among other holy relics.
