The wals and gatetower aim to conceal rather than to protect: inside is a whitewashed enclosure around a cheerful garden. The interior of church was repainted in 1858 by Nicolae Grigorescu, the country's foremost painter.
After that we’ll drive to the nearby Varatec Monastery (18th century), other large convent with 400 nuns. Here is a nice museum of icons and embroderies.
