Sinaia Monastery Balcony (Explore 8-1-24)

            Founded in 1695, orthodox Sinaia Monastery is located in the Prahova Valley in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania and is named after biblical Mt. Sinai in Egypt. It also gives it's name to the nearby resort town of Sinaia, Romania Where King Carol I built his summer residence Peles Castle in the late 19th century. The monastery consists of two courtyards surrounded by low buildings. In the centre of each courtyard there is a small church built in the Byzantine style. One of them—"Biserica Veche" (The Old Church)—dates from 1695, while the more recent "Biserica Mare" (The Great Church) was built in 1846. Orthodox churches are generally painted with vivid frescos of biblical scenes to aide in the teaching of a mostly illiterate population in older times.
