STAVROPOLEOS CHURCH
It's the little jewel of the historic centre. Built in 1724, in the Brâncovenesc style, it is a superb example among the many buildings that appeared during the century of the Phanariotes, the governors imposed by the Turks. The façade is richly decorated with carved columns, medallions and multiple plant motifs. The interior is also remarkable, covered with frescoes and endowed with a beautiful carved wooden iconostasis. The modest size of the building, the darkness that reigns there, the play of lights on the icons give it a very special atmosphere.

L'église Stavropoleos est une petite merveille.
Cette petite église tricentenaire a été miraculeusement préservée des aléas de l'histoire, elle a échappé aux réfections sauvages comme aux destructions de Ceausescu, elle est restée telle qu'elle, intacte, précieux document historique et monument totalement charmant.
