The most beautiful churches cathedrals basilicas and chapels Curtea De Argeş

Only a few ruins remain of the princely court, built in the ^mid-13th century and rebuilt in the following century, when Curtea de Argeș became the capital of Wallachia. But the Byzantine church of St. Nicholas, founded in the ^14th century by Prince Basarab ^I (whose statue sits enthroned at the entrance), is perfectly preserved. Its white brick and pebble façade is particularly elegant. Inside, the recently restored murals are truly original! In particular, you'll see a rare depiction of a pregnant Mary.
