Căldăruşani Monastery was built by Matei Basarab between 1637 and 1638. The monastery comprises a big church, the cells set on three sides. In 1950 it was restored, and in 1994 a beautiful vaeilted hall was built, where the museum collection is sheltered, and 1992 one more body of buildings emerged. The monastery collection includes silver plated icons; copies of rare books; religious clothes and items manufactured in the monastery's workshops. The Căldăruşani school of painting shelters icons from Nicolae Grigorescu's apprenticeship period.
