The small oak church, made of thick beams, seems to have been built in the middle of the 16th century .

The Cozia monastery impresses by its authentic architectural style and very well kept interior wall paintings ( icons) and exterior walls. It also impresses by lodging inside the tomb of a well known , heroic Romanian ruler from the XIV century. There is also a museum that can be visited free of charge. Pictures or filming inside the church is forbidden.

Manastirea Sf Ana / St Anne Monastery

Reviewed By nikkinortht - Ploiesti, Romania

We walked up to the Monastery from Orsova (a nice 45 minute hike up the road from the center). The Monastery is well cared for and had amazing flowers everywhere. It is worth a visit. We didn't stay long but wandered around a little enjoying the views and the flowers.
