About the sights:

Snagov Monastery, a rustic cloister from 1364, on a small isolated island in the middle of Snagov Lake, is the reputed burial place of Vlad Tepes, also known as Dracula, who, it is claimed, lies beneath the floor of the church. It's 40 km (29 mi) north of Bucharest.

Don't let yourself be taken in by the imposing forest and the nice lake surrounding the island or by the generous architecture of the monastery. The secrets are there and when the strong winds rummage the deep waters the frightful sound of ringing bells of the old sunk church (built here by Vlad the Impaler's grandfather, Mircea cel Batran) reveal them to a cautioned ear. The island and the monastery witnessed throughout the centuries lots of crimes and dramas.

Vlad the Impaler built a jail with special torture chambers where the prisoners were killed by fire or iron and then thrown straight into the lake by a sort of canon.

In 1476, Prince Vlad the Impaler-Dracula was mysteriously killed in a battle and the legend says that he was buried in Snagov Monastery. The archaeological digging discovered the tomb but removing the marble that was supposed to cover the Vlad's grave ,they found an empty six foot pit. Is it Vlad the Impaler-Dracula?

Monastery Tiganesti. The Monastery has been made in the 17th century. Initially, it was for monks; the first church of the monastery was made by wood. About 1800, the resident monastic of one Skete of nuns from Bucharest was transformed and moved to this monastery. The monastery derives its name from the owner of the land, Matei Tiganescu.
The church was built in 1812 when Radu Golescu was a high official at the princely court of the time. The architecture has preserved its original form, with the execution of the interior mural paintings, which were painted in the New Byzantine style by Father Eftimie in 1813, and which were reconditioned but not changed. Segments of the original paintings can still be seen in the porch of the church, but the frescoes are the work of Master Belizarie and were executed in 1929. The exterior walls of the church were decorated with mosaic medallions by the painter Gheorghe Raducanu.
The monastery shelters a collection of liturgical art objects and of old religious books.
Several workshops have also been accommodated within the monastery grounds, as for instance, the weaving workshop for manufacturing sacerdotal attire and the embroidery workshop for making priestly vestment ornaments. The technical facilities of these workshops, as well as the constant training of the resident monastic that were involved in the workshop activities, were made possible to persevering all of this.
