Care a fost structura reală a bisericii domneşti Adormirea Maicii Domnului de la mănăstirea Căpriana?
What was the original structural plan of the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in the Căpriana Monastery?

Summary/Abstract: The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in the Căpriana Monastery is the oldest of the existing monuments of religious architecture, built in the gospodars' tradition of the medieval Moldova. Many elements of its architecture have been preserved from the time of Stephen the Great (1457-1504) and Petru Rareş (1527-1538, 1541-1546), in spite of extensive reconstruction, which was carried out in 1819-1820. However, as a result of the reconstruction the current structure of the church does not match the description given in the XIX century. The question of the original structure of the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in the Căpriana Monastery remains unresolved and requires further investigation.
