What it feels like

Beeswax candles, the faint scent of incense, the distant chant from inside. Quiet courtyards walled against the rest of the world.

Mânăstirea Jitianu (sec.XVI), pe malul Jiului, este un lăcaș monahal cu picturi valoroase și o colecție de icoane vechi. Zidurile de cetate și turnul-clopotniță masiv fac din Jitianu un monument reprezentativ al arhitecturii monahale oltene de apărare.
