This was formerly an Eastern Orthodox monastery for nuns in central Bucherest , Romania. It was built in 1724 in the Brancovenesc style & was dedicated to the Archangels Michael & Gabriel . I found it quite beautiful & very different from the more modern buildings which surround it.

Cerkiew Stavropoleos została wybudowana w 1724 roku jako kaplica dla pobliskiego zajazdu. Ufundował ją grecki mnich Joanikide. Naokoło budowli w ślepych arkadach umieszczono freski przedstawiające świętych. Przedsionek posiada piękne kolumny oraz mauretańskie arkady. Wewnątrz znajduje się piękny dziedziniec dzisiejszego klasztoru. Wielu mieszkańców uważa ją za najpiękniejszą cerkiew Bukaresztu.
The church is a modest building that reflects the typical features of Romanian architecture: domed domed tower-domed, trilobated plant and porch on the façade. On the front opens the beautiful marble porch with five polychrome arcades supported by columns from the rich capitals resting on a fine travertine balustrade with vegetable and zoomorphic motifs. The arcade module continues, blind, across the entire outline of the building, above it runs a marble cornice with floral motifs that separate it from the top. The latter is decorated by a gouge frescoed with foliage and rhymed by medallions bearing the figures of Saints. It is accessed through a small nook, domed, separated by grooved marble columns.
La iglesia es un edificio modesto que refleja las características típicas de la arquitectura rumana: cúpula de cúpula de torre, planta trilobulada y porche en la fachada. En la parte delantera se abre el hermoso porche de mármol con cinco arcadas policromadas sostenidas por columnas de los ricos capiteles que descansan sobre una fina balaustrada de travertino con motivos vegetales y zoomorfos. El módulo de arcade continúa, ciego, a lo largo de todo el contorno del edificio, encima corre una cornisa de mármol con motivos florales que lo separan de la parte superior. Este último está decorado con una gubia pintada al fresco con follaje y rimada por medallones con las figuras de los santos. Se accede a través de un pequeño rincón, abovedado, separado por columnas de mármol acanaladas.

The church was built in 1724, during the reign of Nicolae Mavrocordat (Prince of Wallachia, 1719-1730), by archimandrite Ioanichie Stratonikeas. All that remains from the original monastery is the church, alongside a building from the beginning of the 20th century which shelters a library, a conference room and a collection of old (early 18th century) icons and ecclesiastical objects, and parts of wall paintings recovered from churches demolished during the communist regime. This new building was constructed following the plans of architect Ion Mincu. (Wikipedia)
