The Antim Monastery is located in Bucharest, Romania on Mitropolit Antim Ivireanu Street, no. 29. It was built between 1713 and 1715 by Saint Antim Ivireanu, at that time a Metropolitan Bishop of Wallachia. The buildings were restored by Patriarch Justinian Marina in the 1960s. As of 2005, there are 7 monks living in the Monastery. The monastery also hosts a museum with religious objects and facts about the life of Antim Ivireanu. The Monastery is connected to the Legionnaires' rebellion and Bucharest pogrom. On January 22, 1941, led by Hieromonk Nicodem Ioniță, the monks of Antim armed themselves and, using explosives, blew up a synagogue on Antim Street. The numerous Jewish inhabitants of the neighborhood hid in terror. Some of the monks involved were graduates of the Cernica Seminary, a Legionary stronghold.During the communist rule of Nicolae Ceaușescu, the government threatened demolition of the church and many other historic structures in Romania. A project organized by engineer Eugeniu Iordăchescu moved the church to a different nearby site and saved it in time.

The Church of the Holy Apostles (Romanian: Biserica Sfinții Apostoli) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 1 Sfinții Apostoli Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul.

The St. Elijah–Rahova Church (Romanian: Biserica Sfântul Ilie–Rahova) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 79 Constantin Silvestru Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to the Prophet Elijah. The church was built on the site of an earlier church, called Gorgănel, that had been founded in 1706 by Safta, the daughter of Constantin Brâncoveanu, and destroyed during the 1802 earthquake. Vornic Fotache Știrbey led an initiative to rebuild the church, which after his 1828 death was taken up by Neofit, the Bishop of Râmnic, and Ban George Filipescu. The land, inherited by Iancu Bălcescu (uncle of Nicolae), was sold in 1835 to Clucer Bobescu. The new church was built in 1837-1838. The main restoration took place in 1874, with a consolidation being undertaken after the 1940 earthquake. The arches were tied with metal cables, while the dome was encircled by iron girds, saving it from demolition, a fate that befell many damaged domes.The interior was painted by Gheorghe Tattarescu in 1874; he signed on the nave wall, at the feet of his patron, Saint George. His work was restored in 1950 and again in the 1990s; the stained glass dates to 1993. The funerary stones of ktetor Știrbey and his wife Ralița are found on the right side of the entrance. The grave of the Urlățenii boyars is on the left. The grave of Scarlat Urlățeanu, who supervised the construction, was once located near the entrance on the exterior; the headstone is now at Antim Monastery. In 1895, a group of buildings, some on the site of the old cells, was erected around the church; these came to house stores, guest rooms and apartments. Executed in an eclectic style, with elements of Beaux-Arts, they enclosed a courtyard of 35 by 40 meters, with rich vegetation. In 1984, during the systematization drive of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, the buildings were demolished. The church itself was only spared through protests by the priest and his parishioners. It was nevertheless moved 49 meters, and is now situated behind apartment blocks. It was renovated after the Romanian Revolution and rededicated in 1994.The church features a rectangular plan, measuring 27.4 meters long and 12 meters wide. It has a semicircular altar apse and two domes. The larger, circular one is above the nave, while the square bell tower sits on the narthex. The style is Neoclassical, while the low, ample main dome recalls Greek basilicas. The facades have pilasters resting on a stone base, holding up a slassical cornice. The western facade ends in a pediment. Entry is through an open vestibule supported by two slender columns. This was added later and is out of harmony with the massive structure. The altar window has a richly carved original frame. This has its origins in Moldavia, but also has Gothic accents, and is similar to a frame introduced by Vasile Lupu at the Stelea Monsstery church he founded in Târgoviște. Artisans enriched the design with older local motifs: lone buds that, unusually, encircle the cylindrical shapes on the upper end; or the Brâncovenesc accents of the egg-and-darts enclosed by Acanthus mollis leaves.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Piața Constituției (Romanian for "Constitution Square") is one of the largest squares in the centre of Bucharest, Romania.

The Nuns' Skete (Romanian: Schitul Maicilor) is a Romanian Orthodox church and former skete located at 47 Mitropolit Antim Ivireanul Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to the Feast of the Annunciation. The church was built in the summer and autumn of 1726, with Tatiana Hagi Dinu as ktetoressa; she later became a nun. Upon its founding, Lady Smaranda, the wife of Prince Nicholas Mavrocordatos, donated land from the princely estate. During construction, Pashali, high captain of Seymens, served as Ispravnic. The skete became a metochion of Țigănești Monastery in Ciolpani, and in 1730, Hagi Dina dedicated it to the Metropolis. Gradually, the monastery was granted properties, and received relic fragments of Saints Nicholas and Charalambos, still preserved in the altar table legs. In 1865, after the secularization of monastic estates, it came under the administration of the Albă Postăvari Church. It was returned to the Țigănești Monastery in 1926 and became a chapel of the Patriarchate in 1952.The church underwent repairs in 1896: the columns separating narthex from nave were removed, and the original frescoes were painted over. It was consolidated after the 1940 earthquake. Through the personal care of Patriarch Justinian Marina, the ensemble was restored between 1955 and 1958. The surrounding buildings, partly used by the Biblical Institute, were redone in Neo-Brâncovenesc style, replicating elements from Comana and Horezu Monasteries, as well as from the portico of the church itself. Although modest in size, the ensemble of church, kitchen and other buildings formed a harmonious whole in terms of proportion and decor. The regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu ordered their demolition so as to make way for the Republic's House. The decree met with vehement opposition from the parish priest in 1980, but demolition proceeded in 1982. Only the church remained, the 745-ton structure being moved 245 meters eastward over a period of 72 hours. In its new location, it was isolated and soon surrounded by massive government buildings. After the move, the church operated for one more month, when the regime ordered its closure. Some repairs were carried out in secret. In 1995, several years after the Romanian Revolution, the painting was restored and further repairs carried out. Services resumed the following year.The ship-shaped church measures 17.75 meters long by 6.8 meters high. It has a single dome, the bell tower, rising 15.5 meters above the narthex. The nave and narthex have spherical ceilings resting on pendentives, while their floor is paved with Rușchița marble. The open portico has three arches sustained by slender stone columns with spiral fluting, ornamented bases and capitals. The facades are decorated throughout, except on the lower portion, where windows in stone frames interrupt the ornamental flow. The foundation is around one meter high; the roof is covered in tiles. The entrance portal is surrounded by a frame of carved stone. The church hosts an icon of the Virgin Mary, donated by the founder and ascribed by some with wonder-working abilities.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.
