Stavropoles Monstery Church The Church of Stavropolios is not far from the old town of Bucharest. The church was built in the early 18th century and there was a small hotel next to it, but now the small hotel has long disappeared. The church is still in use after hundreds of years of baptism. To be honest, Romania's tourism is not very developed, so the church looks really not very well protected. There is a restaurant near the church that is very good business.
