Orthodox monastery in Argeș county
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.
Vieros Monastery, founded in 1530, lies hidden in the oak forests of the Argeș hills. Its valuable mural painting, traditional architecture and genuinely tranquil atmosphere make Vieros a highly regarded place of spiritual retreat.
