One of the most interesting ecumenical sites in Romania is just a stone`s throw
away from Bucharest, though far away from any civilisation or tourism circuit. An
isolated, spiritual and magical place, full of history, where time seems to stand still.
The cave churches and settlements of Nucu, Buzau are not less than the cradle of
Christianity on Romanian territory – an archaeological and cultural treasure amidst
breathtaking landscape.
Nucu is located in the mountain area and is a village in Bozioru, the county
Buzau, Muntenia, Romania.
The North Buzau includes many sanctums and churches dug in the rock (cave),
being also called the Romanian Meteor. One of the most impressive spiritual places in
Romania is located in village Nucu. The area, located on Ivanetu Crest, hides
mysterious grottos, caves, sanctums, some of them carved or graved into the stone,
vestiges of the past, used over time as refuge or prayer places. In this village are the
most beautiful cave settlements: Cave of Dionisie Torcatorul; Church (Sihastria or
Cave) of Iosif; grot ,,Fundul Pesterii”.
Leaving aside the agglomerated areas of the cities, many visitors come to
Nucu, to enjoy nature, the clean air, view or an oasis of peace.
