Olari Church is a modest but atmospheric stop in Curtea de Argeș, connected with the old potters' quarter that gave it its name. Its painted exterior details and compact proportions make it feel more intimate than the famous monastery complex across town.
Come if you have time to look beyond the cathedral. The church helps round out Curtea de Argeș as a town rather than a single monument, and it fits well into a slow walk through the older streets before heading toward the larger royal and religious sites.
