context_page_description: Curtea de Argeș is a municipality in Romania on the left bank of the river Argeș, where it flows through a valley of the lower Carpathians, on the railway from Pitești to the Turnu Roșu Pass. It is part of Argeș County. The city also administers one village, Noapteș.
  On July 7, 1947, the total rainfall in Curtea de Argeș was 205.7 mm in 20 minutes, which is a world record.
context_section_description: A Greek Orthodox archbishopric of Argeș was established in 1396, under authority of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople by Callistus I, but disputed by the Bulgarian Patriarchate of Ochrid.
  The Orthodox Metropolitan's seat was moved to Târgoviște in 1517, just before the Catholic bishopric ended its activity.
  However, at the close of the 18th century, it again became the seat of the modern Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of Argeș and Muscel, under the Metropolis of Wallachia and Dobrudja.
