The pride of the town is the recently founded (around the year 2000) Mânăstirea Caraiman (Holy Cross Monastery), a large, most beautiful Christian/Orthodox monastery standing on the outskirts of Buşteni. This haven of peace and spirituality is occupied by a large community of priests and is well-used by the townspeople and visited by some thousands of worshippers and tourists each year. A cross on a turret of the monastery church is illuminated each evening, beckoning pilgrims and tourists to follow the path from the town to the sanctuary of this holy place.
