Find more about the Orthodox traditions and art style during your visit of Horezu Monastery, an architectural gem included on the UNESCO heritage list. Visit the oldest capital of Wallachia, the setting of a spectacular monastery, which is not only featured on the Romanian bills, but is also tied to the oldest local oral poem, based on a widespread legend. The architectural complex is also the resting place for the last Romanian dynasty. On your way to Bucharest, stop at the 17th century Potlogi Palace and courts, built by the Brancoveanu’s, one of the wealthiest families in all of Europe during those years. It’s the quintessential example of the architectural style they patronized, which would later become known as “brancovan” (Romanian renaissance).
