Chiajna Monastery is the name of a ruined church situated on the outskirts of Bucharest, which is the subject of many legends, including the story that it is cursed.〔(The curse of Chiajna )〕 The information center Giulești Park is devoted to the upkeep and protection of the building, which is a national heritage site. ==History== Construction began during the reign of Alexander Ypsilanti (1774–1782) and was completed by the Phanariote Nicholas Mavrogenes (1786–1790). It was built in neoclassical style, and was considered very large for that time: 43 meters long and 18 high, with walls 1 and 2 meters thick. The church was meant to be one of the most important places of worship for Romania, but that never happened. The monastery was abandoned during the plague in the reign of Alexander Ypsilanti. Other sources say that work on the monastery began in 1792, but was abandoned during the time of plague, when the prince was Mihai Suțu. The tower collapsed in the earthquake of 1977. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chiajna Monastery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
