Solca was first mentioned in the documents only in 1418, during Alexandru cel Bun's reign, but it is much older. It is situated in the depression by the same name. The church was first a monastery fortified in the inside and it was closed in 1785. It is 36 meters high and its walls are almost 2 meters thick and sustained by four pairs of abutments.
There are five compartments: the porch, the pronaos, the chamber of the tombs, the nave and the altar. Its initial aspect was changed after the restoration process that took place in 1902, following the plans drawn by the Austrian architect K. Romstorfer.
