Prima Mitropolie din zona Olteniei care dateaza din anul 1370 sub titulatura de Mitropolia Severinului. A fost infiintata in timpul voievodului Vladislav I (1364-1377).
Actuala Mitropolie a Olteniei a fost infiintata la data de 7 noiembrie 1939 cu resedinta la Craiova pentru a fi desfiintata la 20 aprilie 1945.
La 24 mai 1947 Adunarea Deputatilor vota Legea nr. 196 (publicata in Monitorul Oficial P.I-a, nr. 136 din 18 iunie 1947) prin care se infiinta Arhiepiscopia Craiovei cu jurisdictie teritoriala asupra judetelor Dolj, Gorj si Mehedinti. In urma hotararii Sfantului Sinod al B.O.R.

Mitropoliti ai Olteniei au fost: Nifon Criveanu (21 decembrie 1939 – 20 aprilie 1945), Firmilian Marin (28 decembrie 1947 – 29 octombrie 1972), Teoctist Arapasu (28 februarie 1973 – 25 septembrie 1977, actualul Parinte Patriarh al Romaniei), Nestor Vornicescu (23 aprilie 1978 – 17 mai 2000).
Palatul Jean Mihail, astazi, Muzeu de Arta a fost realizat intre 1899-1907 de arhitectul francez Paul Gottereau, la cererea lui Constantin Mihail – unul dintre cei mai bogati oameni ai Romaniei din acele vremuri.
Muzeul Olteniei. Muzeul de Stiintele Naturii
Muzeul Stiintele Naturii sau mai exact, Sectia de Stiintele Naturii (Muzeul Olteniei), a fost infiintat in anul 1923 sub denumirea de “Muzeul de Istorie Naturala al Craiovei”, de catre membrii Cercului Stiintific Craiovean condus de profesorul de stiinte naturale Marin Demetrescu.
Inaugurarea muzeului a avut loc in 1923, intr-o incapere a Prefecturii. A functionat ca muzeu o perioada de 5 ani.
La 13 mai 1928 s-a hotarat ca Muzeul de Istorie Naturala care, in anul 1927 a primit spre administrare si colectiile Muzeului de Etnografie si Antichitati al judetului Dolj, sa-si “margineasca aria de explorare la tinutul oltean” (Vincenz, 1928) si sa functioneze sub denumirea de Muzeul Regional al Olteniei, sub conducerea profesorului Marin Demetrescu, personalitate marcanta a stiintei si culturii locale. In acest fel, Muzeul de Istorie Naturala al Craiovei, a devenit Sectia de Stiintele Naturii a Muzeului Olteniei, cum functioneaza si in prezent.
Sectia de Stiintele Naturii a functionat initial in cladirea Prefecturii. Intre anii 1934 – 1948 s-a mutat in actualul sediu al Sectiei de Etnografie, iar intre anii 1949 – 1975 a functionat in actualul sediu al Sectiei de Arheologie – Istorie.
Patrimoniul Sectiei de Stiintele Naturii a fost dat spre vizitare publicului sub diferite forme de expunere pana in anul 1963, cand s-a dat in circuit expozitia permanenta amenajata la parterul cladirii din strada Madona Dudu nr. 44, realizata dupa un proiect tematic intocmit de profesorul dr. Ioan Firu (director al Muzeului Olteniei). Aceasta expozitie a fost desfiintata in anul 1975 pentru extinderea expozitiei de baza a Sectiei de Istorie – Arheologie.
Incepand din anul 2004, Colectia de Ichtyologie a inceput sa fie prelucrata din punct de vedere stiintific si cultural-educativ de catre muzeograf Claudia Goga.
Patrimoniul constituie o veritabila “banca de date“ a naturii Olteniei si implicit a tarii, incluzand piese din structura geologica a zonei, marturii paleontologice ale evolutiei vietii, aproape toate speciile de plante din vegetatia spontana si fauna salbatica din Oltenia dar si din alte zone ale tarii.
Standul sectiei, ofera publicului vizitator publicatiile cultural-stiintifice si educative de specialitate editate de muzeu, din domeniul biologiei si geologiei precum: Anuarul sectiei – Oltenia. Studii si comunicari. Stiintele Naturii, care a ajuns la vol. XX/2004, revista stiintifica acreditata C.N.C.S.I.S, care include lucrari stiintifice sustinute in cadrul Sesiunii nationale “Muzeele si cercetarea stiintifica”, organizata anual in cadrul sectiei in luna septembrie; “Mic atlas de plante”, “Mic atlas de anatomie comparata a vertebratelor”, “Plante rare si ocrotite in Romania”, “Geologia Olteniei si bogatiile subsolului”, “Paraziti si parazitoze la om” – elaborate de catre muzeografii sectiei; ghidul sectiei; vederi si postere cu plante si animale rare si ocrotite, minerale etc.
O categorie aparte a activitatii stiintifico-didactica a specialistilor sectiei, o reprezinta realizarea materialelor didactice pentru dotarea laboratoarelor de biologie si geografie ale institutiilor scolare: fotoexpozitii didactice, microdiorame, insectare si herbare tematice, aplice cu moluste actuale si fosile, naturalizari pasari etc.
Muzeul de Arta Craiova isi are sediul in somptuosul Palat al familiei Jean Mihail. A fost construit intre 1900-1907 dupa proiectele arhitectului francez Paul Gottereau.
Din anul 1954, muzeul isi desfasoara activitatea si dispune de un patrimoniu cultural valoros de peste 4000 de lucrari de arta adunate si conservate de-a lungul anilor.
La baza constituirii Muzeului de Arta stau colectiile daruite de Alexandru si Aretia Aman orasului pentru constituirea unei fundatii in cadrul careia a functionat, incepind cu anul 1908, pinacoteca, biblioteca si muzeul din orasul Craiova.
Timp de peste 40 de ani Muzeul de Arta a functionat ca pinacoteca in cadrul Fundatiei “Alexandru si Aretia Aman”, in cladirea pusa la dispozitie de donatori. Vechiul palat al familiei Grigore Laceanu, astazi Biblioteca “Alexandru si Aretia Aman”, a fost consolidat, modificat si extins pentru a raspunde noii destinatii culturale. Patrimoniul muzeului avind la baza donatia familiei Aman, s-a imbogatit prin numeroase achizitii, cit si prin donatiile familiilor Glogoveanu, N.P.Romanescu, Barbu Druga, Ion M.Georgescu s.a., constituindu-se de-a lungul timpului ca un tezaur artistic de exceptie cu doua componente distincte:
Galeria de Arta Romaneasca dispune de creatii de exceptie semnate de Constantin Brancusi, sculptor de valoare mondiala (Vittelius, Orgoliu, Cap de fetita, Cap de baiat, Sarutul, Coapsa, Domnisoara Pogany), precum si picturi de Th. Aman, Constantin Lecca, Nicolae Grigorescu (intre altele, o varianta a “Atacului de la Smirdan”), etc.
Manastirea Jitianu
Manastirea Jitianu, este o manastire de calugari care se afla in comuna Podari, Judetul Dolj si are hramurile Sf. Dumitru si Sf. Ilie. Locatia mai exacta este la aproximativ 8 kilometri spre sud de Craiova, aproape de soseaua Craiova – Calafat, la marginea de est a satului. A fost ctitorita de catre Mircea cel Batran in anul 1397.
Conform traditie se spune ca manastirea a fost ridicata pe locul unde Mircea cel Batran a ridicat o bisericuta de lemn ca multumire pentru victoria pe care a avut-o in fata turcilor la Rovine si in memoria celor ce au cazut pe campul de lupta in acea batalie. Locasul actual este datat din perioada dintre anii 1654-1658. Este a doua biserica de piatra ca vechime, din tinutul Craiovei.
Inainte de anul 1628, manastirea Jitianu se afla inchinata manastirii Sf. Pavel din Muntele Athos. Printre ctitori se afla si domnita Balasa si inaintea ei au fost si boierii Bengesti si Maria din Obede, ale caror oseminte se afla ingropate la manastire. Actuala manastire a fost ctitorita de catre domnita Balasa si sotia domnitorului Constantin Basarab Carnu. A fos terminata in anul 1701 cand s-au zugravit si chiliile, conform unei inscriptii datate din anul 1731. Arhimndritul Dorotei Craioveanul face reparatii bisericii in anul 1812, iar alte reparatii in anul 1856 cand a fost restaurata si pictura.
Dupa ce Alexandru Ioan Cuza a dat legea secularizarii in 1864, la Jitianu n-a mai fost viata monahala si a ramas ca biserica parohiala a satului Balta Verde pana in anul 1914, cand din cauza gradului avansat de degradare a fost inchisa. Intre anii 1864 – 1873, in fosta manastire a functionat o scoala de agricultura, care a fost mutata la Herastrau-Bucuresti. Manastirea detine si un frumos muzeu in care se gasesc obiecte de arta specifica bisericeasca de diferite genuri: pictura de icoane, sculptura in lemn, broderii si tesaturi provenind din diferite regiuni ale tarii.
Intre anii 1925 – 1932, comisia Monumentelor Istorice, ajutata si de credinciosi, a reparat biserica fara a-i aduce modificari esentiale. Dupa 1939, manastirea a fost locuita de maici. Acestea au construit chiliile actuale si au infiintat ateliere de tesatorie, cusaturi si covoare. Dupa mai multe incercari, mnastirea a fost reinfiintata in anul 2001, tot ca manastire de maici. In prezent, viata monahala de la Jitianu a capatat o noua directie, ea devenind, de curand, manastire de calugari.
Manastirea Cosuna
Cea mai veche constructie a Craiovei – care s-a pastrat, atestata ca atare, este manastirea Cosuna – Bucovatul Vechi.
Ea se inscrie in categoria constructiilor religioase monumentale din Tara Romaneasca. Dar, in afara de biserica, nu s-a pastrat pana in vremea noastra nici una din vechile sale cladiri. Unele au cazut victima jafurilor si incendiilor provocate de dusmani interni sau externi, altele au fost distruse de calamitati naturale, ca revarsarile apelor Jiului si numeroasele cutremure de pamant.
Data construirii este indicata diferit in mai multe izvoare. Pisania indica data de 3 decembrie 1572. O veche cartografiere sustine ca manastirea ar fi fost zidita in 1483 (parere la care subscriu, deopotriva, istoricii Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu si Nicolae Iorga).
Pentru zidirea bisericii s-a folosit piatra (pentru temelie) si caramida (pentru soclu si ziduri) castrului roman Pelendava. Din punct de vedere arhitectonic, biserica este realizata in stil muntenesc (sau valah; acest stil se caracterizeaza prin sinteza dintre elementele populare autohtone si cele bizantine).
Catedrala Sf. Dumitru
Catedrala Sf. Dumitru este ctitoria boierilor Craiovesti, unde prim ctitor a foat socotit a fi Barbu Craiovescu. Intaia confirmare documentara din anul 1645 o mentioneaza ca “Biserica Domneasca de Craiova”, iar in alte izvoare apare sub numele de “Baneasa”.
A fost rezidita din temelii la 1651 de Matei Basarab, ulterior reparata de fostul mare armas Petru Obedeanu in 1690, de fiul sau, stolnicul Constantin Obedeanu, in 1724, cand se si repicteaza, zugraveala fiind executata de Teodosie, Andrei si altii.
Din 1765 devine metoc al Episcopiei Ramnicului. Este inchisa in 1849 si ramane in ruina pana la 1889.
Cu sprijinul regelui Carol I si al Reginei Elisabeta, a fost rezidita din temelii de arhitectul Andre Lecomte de Nouy, intre anii 1889 – 1893. Sfintirea a avut loc la 16 octombrie 1893, cu fast deosebit, sub pastoria Episcopului Bartolomei al Ramnicului-Noul Severin. I s-a pastrat planul in crucea greaca si are un pridvor deschis, o turla pe naos si doua pe pronaos. A fost pictata de francezii Menpiot si Bories.
Catedrala Sfantul Dumitru adaposteste moastele Sfantului Ierarh Nifon, Patriarh al Constantinopolului, ale Sfintilor Serghie si Vah si ale Sfintei Mucenite Tatiana. Pe langa Catedrala a functionat cea mai veche scoala din Oltenia (dupa N.Iorga), scoala de preoti si dascali.
In anul 1939, biserica Sfantul Dumitru din Craiova devine Catedrala Mitropolitana.
Muzeul Olteniei – Muzeul de Etnografie Casa Baniei
Casa Baniei, monument de arhitectura medievala si cea mai veche constructie civila din Craiova, a fost zidita la sfarsitul secolului al XV-lea de boierii Craiovesti, fiind reconstruita in anul 1699 de catre domnitorul martir, Constantin Brancoveanu. Din constructia initiala a Craiovestilor se mai pastreaza doar o parte a pivnitelor.
In valtoarea istoriei, vechea ctitorie a fost incendiata de nenumarate ori, a trecut in stapaniri si administrari diferite si a “suferit”, dupa nevoi, transformari, adaosuri si suprimari arhitecturale. Astfel, in perioada 1718 – 1739, Casa Baniei va fi sediul administratiei austriece, care o si fortifica. In 1750, cladirea este cedata de domnitorul Grigore Ghica Episcopiei Ramnicului, iar incepand cu 1850, devine sediu pentru diverse institutii ale orasului: Tribunalul Craiovei, Liceul Fratii Buzesti, Seminarul local, Arhivele Statului. Din anul 1933, constructia va gazdui Muzeul Olteniei pana in 1948, cand va trece in folosinta Mitropoliei Olteniei.
