When you’re walking through modern București, north of the old city center, you will come across the orthodox Crețulescu church. It’s worth to sit down on one of the benches next to it, to have a look at its special exterior in Brâncovenesc style, to watch the people move in and out even on business days making the sign of the cross. And to listen to the chants of believers while standing next to the decorated walls and the candles burning in front of the building.
The church was built in 1720 and survived two earthquakes in 1940 and 1977. During communist times it was planned to remove it, but fortunately this wasn’t realized. Now it is standing like a beautiful alien between more modern buildings.
