Abstract
Based on the study of documentary materials, including previously unpublished or little known, as well as on the basis of his own field research, the author o?ers the detailed description of the reconstruction of the Assumption Church from the Căpriana Monastery in 1818-1820, which led to a change in the medieval appearance of this old princely building. The text is supplemented with photographs and the graphic reconstruction of the plan and the southern facade of the church after the completion of construction work initiated by Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu.
