About 130 km northwest of Bucharest, Curtea de Arges is
a town held dear by many Romanians. A city with a great
past, it succeeded Cîmpulung as capital of feudal Walachia.
Curtea de Arges is a place of pilgrimage for many Romanians.
Here stands a legendary church built in the 16th century
under the rule of king Neagoe Basarab. The story goes that
the king wanted to build a church to be unmatched in beauty
throughout the world.
