If you enjoy viewing old churches and architecture this is one you will want to visit while in Bucharest. Every angle has something different to see and you do get a sense of history. There are some other interesting artifacts and monuments in the area. You can sneak a peak inside which has some interesting murals. This is in the central part of town.

This is a small church opposite revolution square originally built in early 17th century, renovated few times due to damage caused during the 1940 and 1977 by earthquakes as well as Revolution of Romania in 1989. It boasts a brick outer facade with beautiful frescoes and embellishments inside. If you are around Revolution Square, it’s hard to miss this church. Give it a go to appreciate its great architecture.

One of the nicest, cozyest Romanian Orthodox churches in Bucharest, located in Central Bucharest, next to the former Royal Palace. Exquisite architecture, great icons, lovely priests and staff, it makes one feel like they are really in a sacred place, and in the presence of the Almighty. Regardless of your Christian denomination or, indeed, if you belong to a different religious tradition, this place is a must see. Everyone is welcome. Please come by when you have a chance

Beautiful small orthodox church in Bucharest , located near revolution square and near National Museum of art of Romania. Is hidden like most of beautiful thinks in this city . Everything old is nice in my eyes . I have only small negative point , the airconditioner could be located elsewhere, like the wall on the right. Place, which you must see in Bucharest.

One of the most beautiful and enlighten church in Bucharest! Unfortunately, they didn't allow me to make pictures inside, is forbidden - I really don't understand why if you don't use the powerful of the blitz/flash! Even so, I gave them five stars, it's a very peaceful place with an incredible painting and and absolutely awesome iconography, look at the pictures, you'll discover why! Also, pay attention to one of my photos - you may see there a historical document about this church translated in English!

Beautifull ortodox church, it's considered one of the most representative buildings in Bucharest for the Romanian Brancovenesc style. The monument is right in the center of town at a strone trow from the National Museum of Art and the Romanian Atheneum. It escaped demolition by the communists and it sits now renovated and with beautifull interior paintings by renowned Romanian painter Gheorghe Tattarescu.

This church was commissioned in 1720-1722 by the Wallachian boyar Iordache Kretzulescu and his wife Safta (who was the daughter of prince Constantin Brancoveanu). It is one of the notable monuments in Bucharest from the Wallachian Renaissance. The interior is not as impressive as that of other beautiful old churches in Bucharest, but the outer architecture is definitely worth looking at. Moreover the Kretzulescu Church is located on Calea Victorei, next to the Royal Palace of Bucharest, which is now the National Museum of Art of Romania. So this whole area is a must see. It's interesting that originally the facade was painted, but during a restoration in 1935 the whole exterior was stripped to bricks. Since then the church has undergone several more renovations mainly due to damages after two earthquakes (in 1940 and in 1977) and after the fall of the dictatorship in 1989.
