Fundeni

Fundeni is a district within the northeastern outskirts of Bucharest, Romania, at the left financial institution of the Colentina River, downstream of Plumbuita Monastery and near the Fundeni Lake that became fashioned on the river. On its west and north-west are located the Colentina and Andronache neighbourhoods, on its north the metropolis of Voluntari and on its east the commune of Dobroesti.

The village of Fundeni became constructed in a place remoted from Bucharest with the aid of the Colentina River and its lakes. Without a right away road towards Bucharest, the only manner to reach the metropolis changed into thru the road that led to Afumați, Ilfov. Another crossing became found inside the place where now the railway bridge between Obor railway station and the Bucharest-Constanța railway. Fundeni turned into surrounded of forests, certainly one of which, Gradiștea, is mentioned in a June 13, 1634 document which tells about the priest of the village who became a monk and built his personal small church and hermitage in the middle of the woodland.
