On a tiny island to the north of the lake lies this monastery, founded around the beginning of the 15th century by the Wallachian prince Mircea the Elder (Mircea cel Bătrân). The monastery church, a handsome brick edifice, is in the Byzantine style. Its interiors are covered with frescoes. Vlad Țepeș, the voivode who inspired the character of Dracula, had defensive walls, a bridge and a prison built here. Legend even has it that he was buried there, but to date no evidence has confirmed this. The island can be reached by footbridge or by boat.

Visite décevante. Lieu très cher pour admirer la soit disante tombe de vlad l'empaleur (parking soit disant gratuit mais on viens vous réclamer 10 lei pour surveiller votre voiture alors qu'il n'y a pas un chat!! plus le billet d'entrée et les droits photos et on arrive presque a 7 euros...) pour ne voir au final qu'une église sur une petite ile... au moins jolis peintures orthodoxes a l'intérieur
The best at Snagov and around
