In southeastern Romania, between the Danube and the Black Sea, Dobrogea is home to monasteries that preserve centuries of religious tradition, architecture, and cultural memory. Some are well known. Others remain unfamiliar to visitors from beyond the region.

As a Romanian photographer, I have begun a personal journey to visit and photograph the monasteries of Dobrogea, one by one. Through this project, I hope to share their beauty with people who may never have had the opportunity to discover them.

Each visit becomes an opportunity to observe the architecture, the surrounding landscape, the details of monastic life, and the atmosphere that makes each place distinctive.
