The most beautiful religious buildings Arad

15 km southwest of Arad, it is one of the oldest monasteries in all Romania, first mentioned in 1177 under the name of Hvdust. In the course of its eventful history, it was destroyed by the Tatars in 1241, rebuilt next to the old monastery at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century. Heavily damaged during the Ottoman occupation, the place was gradually restored and then rebuilt in the 17th century with the addition of a Baroque style dome. The monastery has several icons (15th-18th century) and valuable manuscripts.
