After Cozia was thus embellished and extended by these new founders, whose portraits are painted on the monastery walls, other repairs have been made in the following centuries or in the first decades of the 20th century under the patronage of the Board of Historical Monuments.
Cozia has nevertheless regained its former aspect, but only in the years of the popular power did it acquire its seven windows, each adorned with different sculptural and floral compositions which belong to the time of Mircea the Ancient.
Distance of the road which passes in front of the monastery, the ruins of “Old Cozia” look upon the visitor: centuries ago it was a hermitage in the middle of an imposing mountainous amphitheater; it was also described by Paul of Alep as a remarkable ecclesiastic monument, named “Hermitage of St. John of the Rock”.
