The Cathedral of Curtea de Argeș (Mănăstirea Curtea de Argeș, Catedrala Curtea de Argeș) is one of the most famous buildings in Romania. It stands on the foundations of a monastery and is located about one and a half kilometers north of the city. It resembles a very large and elaborate mausoleum and was built in the Byzantine style with Moorish arabesques.
Its floor plan is rectangular, but there are many extensions at the back. In the center of the building there is a dome, on the front side there are two smaller dome towers, while a second dome, wider and higher than the central one, rises from the extension. On each peak there is an inverted, pear-shaped stone. It symbolizes a triple cross, which represents the Trinity.
The cathedral is also the burial place of the Romanian royal family.
Ferdinand I is also buried here (from Sigmaringen, Hohenzollern)
