    I must say that I expected something different and it was pleasant to see such church in the city centre, very close to University of Bucharest and the National Theatre. It was not as crowded as I thought it would be. But still pretty busy, and despite the fact it was freezing cold outside, many people were around the building.

    A smile who tells everything. This place can show to lucky people the pure happiness of living. Yet, be careful to wear a mask inside the church in order to have a beautiful smile next year again!

    An oasis of peace and faith in the middle of Bucharest. Was one of the stops for the pilgrims on the way to Mount Athos. The monks do not use artificial light inside the church, but only candles. Ensure you don't talk during mass, otherwise the monks will tell you off.

    Went there for Palm Sunday and had a rather good time. It's in the heart of Bucharest yet cosy, quiet and seems to take you way to remoteness of monasteries up in the mountains. The priests are nice and their service is enjoyable. I suggest this place as a quiet get away form Bucharest's busy daily life.

    A small church with a wonderful garden. The mass is during mornings, 8.30 to 12.30 each religious holiday. Sometimes the church can be quite full. If you go on during weekends afternoons, can spend some nice peaceful time in there.

    An oasis of peace of mind and faith in the middle of a city troubled by crowds, noise, noxious substances. Maybe we should go to these holy places more often, get a little out of our daily routine, forget for a few minutes all the problems, shortcomings and difficulties. I also recommend this experience to the young generation.

    This is a hidden gem in the middle of Bucharest. Even if you are not a religious person you will surely appreciate the lovely garden inside, the architecture and the peace and quiet you can enjoy there. One forgets being in the center of a busy city when entering this site.

  • 5/5 Dragos P. 4 years ago on Google
    Like most churches in Bucharest this place is always open. You go in, you admire, you pray, you venerate the holy icons, you leave. There is maybe one other person just like you...

  • 5/5 Ioana A. 4 years ago on Google
    It's my favourite place in Bucharest. Piece of heaven in the middle of this craziness of a city.

  • 5/5 Dada V. 6 years ago on Google
    An absolutely beautiful historical monument: an oasis of silence and spirituality right in the center of Bucharest, a monastery where you may stay in peace for a while. The church is also very beautiful, it was erected by the noble Mihail Darvari in 1834 - his grave is on the inside of the church, with a permanent lighted candle on top of it! Here stay a priest and 12-14 monks and, if you are in searching of the (reconciliation with) God they will help you, no doubt!
