Sinaia Monastery

The beginnings of the Sinaia Monastery, an Orthodox Christian place of worship, around which the town of Sinaia was formed, were at the end of the 17th century. Its founder, Spătarul Mihail Cantacuzino, named it Sinaia after the name of St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai - Egypt. The large church of the monastery was built in 1843-46 and is dedicated to "St. Trinity". At the beginning of the 20th century, the construction was modified to have the architecture we see today. It should be noted that during the period when Romania was a kingdom, from the beginning until 1947, the royal house of Romania frequented this church. This explains the fact that on the western wall there are paintings of King Charles I and Queen Elizabeth with their first daughter.

There are two churches, the big red wall just entering is the new Orthodox church, and the left hand turns into another courtyard with a 17th-century original small monastery church with murals of heaven and hell at the door. Close to here is Peres Castle, a summer palace inhabited by King Carol I and Queen of 48 years in power. The garden and the interior of the castle are beautiful. I don't know why I can't find a place to comment on Trip.com. Now their photo is there. Not the Sinaia Monastery.

Winter, warm and summer, beautiful scenery. Sinaia is a 300-year-old fairytale city, located in the middle of the South Carpathian Mountains, about 130 kilometers north of Bucharest, and only 44 kilometers from Brasov. The whole city is German architectural, and the small city is built on the hillside and surrounded by lush trees.

We came once, we really like it, at the foot of the Karma Mountain, there are such exquisite castles (two), the snowy mountains are on the top, the stream is under, the mountains and forests are quiet, Mercure hides them, I heard that in autumn, colorful, red and yellow have, have the desire to come back in autumn.

The exterior of the church very close to the castle mainly chose white, unlike the design of many architectural arcades, the aisle on the first floor seems to be wrapped in the building itself, and the second floor is like an open balcony. The interior of the church is decorated in gold, reflecting the status of the royal architecture, and the exquisiteness of the painted art is very pleasing.
