The most beautiful religious buildings Craiova

Its date of birth is unknown, but probably before 1500. In any case, it's the city's oldest church. It was the church of the great boyar families, and also served as the city's defense tower. After damage caused by the January 1838 earthquake, it was completely rebuilt in 1889 by French architect Lecomte du Nouÿ, who has other church reconstructions to his credit in the country, such as Curtea de Argeș. Byzantine in style, its brick "stripes" make it very elegant.
