The Cathedral of Curtea de Argeș (early 16th century) is a Romanian Orthodox cathedral in Curtea de ArgeșRomania. It is located on the grounds of the Curtea de Argeș Monastery, and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas.

The cathedral is faced with pale grey limestone, which was easily chiselled then hardened on exposure. The interior is of brick, plastered and decorated with frescoes. Nearby on the grounds stands a large Moorish style royal palace.


Thank you, Mihnea !
