Archdiocese of Argeș and Muscel

The Archdiocese of Argeș and Muscel (Romanian: Arhiepiscopia Argeșului și Muscelului) is a diocese of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

The archdiocese forms part of the Metropolis of Muntenia and Dobrudja.

[1] The institution traces its beginnings to the old Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia,[1] which moved to Târgoviște in 1517.

Its most prominent bishop was probably the first, losif, who reigned until 1820; he translated and published numerous liturgical books.

[4] It was revived in 1990, following the Romanian Revolution,[1] and elevated to the rank of archdiocese in 2009.
