Album Info:

The Sinaia Monastery was founded by Prince Mihai Cantacuzino in 1695 and named after the great Sinai Monastery on Mount Sinai. The Great Church was first built during 1842-1846 as a smaller building. It happened under the leadership of hegumens Ioasaf and Paisie and with the money from the monastery. Board of Civil Hospitals did rebuild parts of the church from 1897 to 1903. This change gave the Great Church the appearance of today.
