The '''Metropolis of Wallachia and Dobruja''', headquartered in [[Bucharest]], [[Romania]], is a [[Metropolis (religious jurisdiction)|metropolis]] of the [[Romanian Orthodox Church]].
==History==
[[File:1359VOIVODATE.png|thumb|350px|The [[Carpathians]] and the [[Romanian Plain]] in 1359, after the foundation of the Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia and [[Nicholas Alexander of Wallachia|Nicholas Alexander]]'s split from the [[Kingdom of Hungary (1301–1526)|Kingdom of Hungary]]]]
The Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia was created, in 1359, by [[Patriarch Callistus I of Constantinople|Callistus I]], the [[Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople]] as the most senior church office of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, covering the territory of [[Wallachia]].
In 1872, the [[Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia]] united with the [[Metropolis of Moldavia and Bukovina|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.
