Mânzaţi church ruins
Mânzaţi village features the ruins of a church built around 1761, restored in 1910 and demolished after 1940.
In 1889, on land near Mânzaţi, researcher Grigore Ştefănescu discovered the fossilized skeleton of a Mammoth from the species Deinotherium gigantissimum. The fossil, belonging to a juvenile, is 4.5 m high and 3.5 m long. It is exhibited at the Grigore Antipa Bucharest Natural History Museum, mounted in 1906 by Belgian restorer L. F. de Pauw. This copy is now one of the most important displays at the museum. In 2005, the land where it was discovered was declared a paleontological subject of national interest.
