One of the most important monuments of orthodox architecture, this monastery was build in 1638 by Matei Basarab, on a small piece of land that sits in the middle of the Caldarusani lake. In the old days, here was established a school of copyists that over the years brought a significant contribution to the creation of the Romanian language. In the nearby area, called Codrii Vlasiei (The Forests of Vlasia), Vlad Tepes was killed in the treacherous act of his boyars.

Construit vers 1408 dans un style byzantin aux influences roumaines, ce monastère se dresse sur une petite île au nord du lac Snagov. Durant son règne, Vlad Tepes y apporta d'autres améliorations, notamment un mur de pierre fortifié et un pont étroit menant à la terre ferme, aujourd'hui emprunté par les visiteurs. Antim Ivireanul, l'un des plus grands érudits de l'époque, publia ici les premiers livres roumains utilisant l'alphabet latin. Certains historiens affirment qu'après son assassinat, perpétré par ses boyards lors de la bataille de Codrii Vlasiei (Forêts de Vlasia), près de Snagov, le corps de Vlad Tepes Dracula fut transporté au monastère et enterré secrètement selon la tradition orthodoxe. Aujourd'hui, les visiteurs du monastère de Snagov peuvent admirer la pierre tombale funéraire posée devant l'autel, lieu de repos diurne de Dracula.

Built by Constantin Brancoveanu around 1702, this palace displays an unique architecture style that noawadays is worldly recognized as the Brancovenesc style. It sits on the banks of the lake Mogosoaia and is surrounded by beautiful garden and forests. Visitors of this palace will hear the story of the family of Constantin Brancoveanu, an important figure on the Romanian history and culture, that was entirely killed by the Ottomans for not giving up their Christian Orthodox faith.
