Description
Take a unique journey into the Art and Architecture of Orthodox Churches. Find out the meaning of the unique language that is Byzantine painting and of the components of the Orthodox Church.
There are many magnificently painted churches in Bucharest and so much to say about each of them. Our tour will start near the Old Princely Court, where we find the magnificent Saint Anton church, then we will continue on Lipscani street to Saint George where we will admire a fresco made by one of Romania's greatest church painters. Next on the list two churches that are hard to find even for locals, Saint Elias - an Orthodox Basilica, one of two in the city, and the Lady's Church with some of the oldest preserved original frescoes in Bucharest. Since we are on the topic of churches next on our list, is the eclectic Stavropoleos Monastery and right next to it, our last stop, Saint Demetrios a neo-baroc 19 century gem.
