The Metropolis of Wallachia and Dobruja, headquartered in Bucharest, Romania, is a metropolis of the Romanian Orthodox Church.

History

The Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia or Ungro-Vlachia was established in 1359 by Callistus I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, encompassing the territory of Wallachia. In 1381-1383 and perhaps until 1385, Ungro-Wallachia administered the metropolis of Nicomedia, due to its decline after its fall to the Ottomans.[1]

In 1872, the Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia united with the Metropolis of Moldavia to form the Romanian Orthodox Church. The Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia, who received the title of Primate Metropolitan in 1865, became the head of the General Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church. In 1990, it became Metropolis of Muntenia and Dobruja.
