Complex Unirii Radu Voda 20

Radu Vodă Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox site in the heart of Bucharest, set on the banks of the Dâmbovița River near the Patriarchal Cathedral. The history of the site stretches back to the Paleolithic era, and it is considered the oldest known settlement site in Romania, with the remains of Dacian fortifications as well. The monastery was founded in 1577 by Prince Alexander II Mircea and his wife in gratitude for a military victory, with the aim of making it the metropolitan church of the capital. After extensive renovation between 1969 and 1974, Patriarch Justinian Marina is now laid to rest here. You can experience the historical significance of the site, which lies just a few hundred meters from the Piața Unirii metro station.
