Perched atop the hill of the same name, surrounded by an almost round enclosure, it was erected at the end of the 16th century by Prince Petru Şchiopul (Peter the Limping). Its name derives from the eponymous Istanbul district, Galata meaning "gate" in Turkish: it was here that Moldavian princes lodged on their way to the seat of the Ottoman sultanate to receive their decree of appointment. The church combines Wallachian, Moldavian and Byzantine architectural styles. Its frescoes were destroyed by fire in 1762. The monastery now houses a convent.
