The oldest Orthodox church in Romania is situated in this region. The tourists can admire the church St. Nicolae at Curtea de Arges - Wallachia's capital during the XIV century. This church, with a Byzantine structure, was built by the ruler Basarab I approximately in 1352.
This picturesque city hosts a marvellous architectonic masterpiece - the Monastery Curtea de Arges - built by the ruler Neagoe Basarab (1512 - 1521). The legend tells that the church was built by a team of ten workers supervised by the Master Manole who immured his living wife in the church's walls - the supreme sacrifice for creation. Aside from the graves of the creator and of the ruler Radu de la Afumati, there are four flagstones under which Carol I (1866 - 1914) and queen Elisabeta, king Ferdinand (1914 - 1927) and queen Maria rest their souls.
The capital of this principality, until it was moved at Curtea de Arges, was established at Câmpulung, where an impressive cathedral (built in 1638) surrounded by a strong defensive wall, was named after the mysterious ruler Negru Voda.

Târgoviste, which was going to become the administrative centre of Muntenia, was known by the name of "the capital of the 33 principalities". Almost all of them left a heritage of important works of great historical and architectural value in this city situated on the river Ialomita. Among them we can enumerate the church Sfinta Vineri (15century), Biserica Domneasca (Royal Church) built in1583, the church Stelea, founded by Moldavia's ruler Vasile Lupu in 1645 and the Monastery Dealu, a royal necropolis were Mihai Viteazu is buried. He was the first one who united the Romanian provinces in 1600.

The capital of Romania, Bucharest, is also an important religious centre. The nucleus of the Romanian orthodox life is the patriarchal complex lying on the hill named Dealul Mitropoliei (Metropolitan Hill). Catedrala Patriarhala (The Patriarchal Cathedral) was built during the second half of the 17 century. The Easter service is impressive, as the proceeding of the parishioners holding lit candles resembles a lit river..
The oldest church in Bucharest, completely preserved, was built by Mircea Ciobanu (16 century) and it is placed inside the precincts of Curtea Veche, the first residence of the Wallahian rulers. The monasteries Radu Voda and Mihai Voda are dating from the same century. The churches Fundenii Doamnei, Coltea, Stavropolos and Cretulescu, Sf. Gheorghe Nou (were there is the grave of the ruler Constantin Brâncoveanu) are just a few religious places which have always aroused the tourists' interest.
In the suburbs of Bucharest we find the monastery Plumbuita, an edifice built by Matei Basarab which holds the largest church in Muntenia.

Around the Capital, there are places of a sublime beauty, surrounded by forests and lakes. Among them, we can enumerate the monasteries Caldarusani, founded by Matei Basarab in 1638, Cernica (1608), Pasarea (1813), Tiganesti (1812), Samurcasesti (1944), Comana (1703), Pisiota (1928). An island of the lake Snagov, 35 km away from Bucharest, reveals a church built in 1521 by Neagoe Basarab. The legend tells, and so do some historians, that the ruler Vlad Tepes (The Impaler) - the one who inspired the character Dracula - is buried here.
One can also visit in Buchaest the Cathedral Sf. Iosif, Biserica Luterana (The Lutheran Church), Biserica Ruseasca (The Russian Church), Biserica Anglicana (The Anglican Church), The Coral Temple of the Israelite community, Catedrala Armeana (The Armenian Cathedral).
