Ecclesiastic dwellings inside monastery courtyards of Iasi

by Doina Mira Dascălu; pp.25-33

Abstract
We surveyed three interesting buildings from three different courtyards: the semibasement near by the tower of the Barnovschi monastery, the so called Dosoftei house near by the wall of Sf. Nicolai Domnesc monastery and the house inside the courtyard of Golia monastery. Comparing them, comparison made in the context of certain characteristics of the structures of the medieval Moldavian monastery courtyards, we may notice that these three buildings have in common some aspects. These houses show also some particularities that make them different, resulted out of the special history and lifespan of each structure, conferring them, even today, magnetism, charm and personality.

KEYWORDS: architecture, historical researches, monastery courtyards, ecclesiastic dwellings.
