Summary/Abstract: The architecture of the Church of the Coşuna Monastery (Bucovăţ) in Craiova, as it is today, does not reflect the aspect it had in the 16th century. The original building, built in 1571 by Ştefan (Stepan = Etienne) grand ban and his son Pârvu grand clucer, containing the altar, naos and pronaos, does not resemble that depicted in the votive painting painted in 1574. A photograph taken by Cesar Bolliac in 1860 depicts an exonartex raised by a tower-bell tower, erected by Pârvu Clucerul on the old church between 1579-1583, ruined by the overflowing of the Jiu and the earthquake of 1838 and subsequently, after 1860, disappeared. The importance of the monument of Bucovăţ resort of the reworking of old elements of the use of new elements, which revolutionize the evolution of the architecture of Wallachia
