The Trivale Monastery sits within the large Trivale forest park on the western edge of Pitești — a pleasant contrast to the industrial outskirts of the city. The monastery dates to the late 16th century, with later rebuilding, and its frescoes and iconostasis are worth a look.
The walk through the Trivale park to reach it is itself worth the trip. The forest is one of the largest green spaces near any Romanian city of this size, with trails that are popular with locals at weekends. The monastery at its heart gives the outing a focus.
