Since then, the Monastery received the name Stavropoleos.<\/p>\n<p>Stylistically, Stavropoleos ensemble belongs to Brancoveanu epoch. Its stone decoration, furniture, interior and exterior murals make it the epitome of that period in the history of Romanian art. Although small in size, the church has a monumental appearance, as an architectural space specific to Byzantine tradition. By its sculpted decorative and ornamental motifs, the church expresses both a baroque sensibility and an oriental taste.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_278355\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-278355\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-candela.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-278355 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-candela-890x605.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"605\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-278355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In an urban monastery, with an important cultural-missionary role, the obedience chores are related to church services, scholarly occupations, the presentation of the history of the place and the traditions sheltered between the old buildings.
