You're standing at Stavropoleos Monastery, right in the old centre of Bucharest. Don't expect a big complex. What you see is a small church from 1724, built in the Brâncovenesc style, a typically Romanian way of building. Take a good look at the front, at the porch with its columns and delicate stone carving. That's the signature of the style.
