Visitor guide

Tismana Monastery

The monastic complex at Tismana is associated with Saint Nicodemus and the late 14th century. It is a listed historic monument and an active place of worship, so a quiet, respectful visit is the best way to experience it.

Combine your visit

Pair the monastery with a walk around Tismana, the Tismana Valley and, if time and conditions allow, the Cioclovina area.
