Photographer’s Note

Village of Corbi. In the background: Corbii de Piatra Monastery (Stone Ravens Monastery). Monastery was restored in 1512 by nun Magdalina, in time of Neagoe Basarab Voivode (1512-1521). In the documents there is no information about when it was built for the first time. The church is delved in stone. Near the church, also delved in stone, there is a place which looks like a High Court in open air. In this place Neagoe Basarab Viovode made public justice. The church underwent repairs and restoration works under Iosif, Bishop of Arges; the porch of the church was also constructed under the earnest care of the Bishop Iosif, in 1809. After many years of desolation, in 1996 the monastery started again to be populated by monks.
