Dudești Cioplea Church
Dudești Cioplea Church

The Dudești Cioplea Church (Romanian: Biserica Dudești Cioplea) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 2 Credinței Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas. The church is located in the former village of Dudești, and initially served both the nearby residence of the eponymous boyar family and the villagers. It appears on a Russian map of 1770, dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos, and in an 1810 inventory. The old church, devastated by earthquakes in 1802 and 1804, was rebuilt in 1820 by the banker Ștefanache Hagi-Moscu. Again hit by the 1838 quake, it was restored by the parishioners, who added the nave apses. A fire in 1900 destroyed the archive; repairs were carried out the following year.The church was restored between 1972 and 1983, following the plans of architect Constantin Joja. The aim of the restoration was to bring back the spirit of the original building, thus eliminating the innovations of 1820. Most significantly, a spire painted with Christ Pantocrator was reconstructed. The interior frescoes date to 1982, and another repair was carried out in 1990. The exterior is largely of bare brick, similar to the old church.The bell tower is a separate structure next to the entrance, on two levels. Several stone crosses inscribed in Romanian Cyrillic testify to the cemetery that once surrounded the enclosure. The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Titan, Bucharest
Titan, Bucharest

Titan (Romanian pronunciation: [tiˈtan]) is a neighborhood of Eastern Bucharest, part of Sector 3. It surrounds the Alexandru Ioan Cuza Park, formerly known as "Titan", "I.O.R." (Intreprinderea Optică Română), and "Balta Albă" (The White Pond). The name of "Titan" comes from a cement factory located here in the 20th century. Starting with the 1950s, the development stage began. In the context of an acute housing crisis, the Titan was chosen for further city development as there were few constructions on it. Large industrial units were built in the vicinity. Construction lasted until the 1970s, when Alexandru Ioan Cuza Park was also built around the Titan lake.Titan consists mostly of housing facilities. Alexandru Ioan Cuza park (also known as Titan) is located in the center of the neighborhood. It is one of the biggest parks in Bucharest, with a total surface measuring over 85 hectares. The park is built around the Titan lake, which is divided in half by a road bridge and contains five small islands. Transportation is well-developed, the region being linked to other parts of Bucharest by subway, tram-lines, trolleys, buses and taxis. The subway stations located in Titan are Nicolae Grigorescu, Titan, Costin Georgian, 1 Decembrie 1918, Nicolae Teclu and Anghel Saligny. The most important boulevards are named after Nicolae Grigorescu, Camil Ressu and Theodor Pallady. The latter is a continuation of the Bucharest - Constanţa freeway inside the city. There are several large shopping centres, the biggest ones being Auchan and Cora hypermarkets. The Gloria cinema is sited on the intersection of Baba Novac and Nicolae Grigorescu boulevards. Nearby neighborhoods include Dristor, Vitan, Dudeşti, Pantelimon. At the northwestern end of the neighborhood there is the Basarabiei Blvd. and the National Arena. ParkLake Shopping Center, Bucharest's newest mall, opened its gates for visitors on 1 September 2016.
