Oborul Vechi Church
Oborul Vechi Church

Oborul Vechi Church (Romanian: Biserica Oborul Vechi) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 204 Traian Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to Saints Joachim and Anna. After the plague that affected Bucharest in 1718–1719, the Serdar Matei Mogoș raised a monumental stone cross some four meters high. It was placed at what was then the edge of the city, near the cattle and grain market (oborul vechi means “the old cattle yard”). In 1768, Metropolitan Grigorie ordered the construction of a small church without apses to shelter the cross inside the altar.Becoming cramped by the early 19th century, the parishioners walled in the old portico, turning it into a narthex, and added side apses. It suffered damage during the 1838 earthquake and was repaired in 1850. A 1938 restoration brought about the current form, including the addition of a small portico with a triangular facade. Additional repairs followed the earthquakes of 1940 and 1977.The cross-shaped church measures 20 meters long by 6.3 to 12 meters wide, with polygonal side apses. The rectangular altar is spacious and high, in order to fit the stone cross, which can be glimpsed through the royal doors. The two octagonal domes sit on square bases atop the nave and narthex; they and the roof are covered in tin. Light enters the balcony through a small round window above the vestibule, above which an icon of the patron saints is placed in a niche. The columns that separated nave from narthex are gone, while traces of the old arched portico remain on the walls. The interior windows are of stained glass and depict saints.The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

Olari Church
Olari Church

The Olari Church (Romanian: Biserica Olari) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 6 Olari Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God. The church is named after the surrounding district, a place where potters (olari) dug for clay, according to a 1752 document. A church, probably of wood, stood nearby in the first half of the 18th century. According to the pisanie, located above the entrance door and written in Romanian Cyrillic, the church was built in 1758. An 1847 plan notes that it was also called Ceauș (doorman) Precup. The church was originally surrounded by walls and cells, which also hosted a school; all these structures were demolished in the late 19th century. In 1836, the church was repaired and modified: the portico was closed, with another small one on two columns added, and the interior was repainted in oil. The tin-coated wooden domes were rebuilt in 1863. An 1869 repainting followed the style of Gheorghe Tattarescu, with a series of framed works.A professional restoration of 1939-1943 replaced the tin with tiles and remade the domes of masonry, like in the original structure; the added plaster was removed, bringing to light the initial form of the portico, with painted columns and arches; the second portico was removed. In 1982-1983, during the systematization of Calea Moșilor ordered by the Nicolae Ceaușescu regime, the church was moved 58 meters, ending up behind a row of apartment blocks. It was re-sanctified and reopened in 1984. The painting was restored in 1994-2002, bringing to light a previously hidden depiction of Abraham.The three-lobed church measures 23 meters long by 6.5 to 13 meters wide, with two octagonal domes on square bases. The portico, with three semicircular arches resting on masonry columns, is enclosed by windows and metal grilles. The columns and archivolts are painted with red, black and brown floral motifs. A simple string course divides the facade into two nearly equal parts. These are decorated with arched recesses, in pairs above, single and larger below. On the entrance facade, above the arches and among the frames, there are three medallions from 1943. These are painted in fresco with the patron feast in the center, flanked by Saints Peter and Paul. A small flower garden surrounds the church.The north apse features an icon of the Virgin Mary; ascribed by some with wonder-working abilities, it is surrounded by 24 depictions of reported miracles. It was brought around 1810 by monks fleeing persecution in Turkey; in 1864, the gilt silver coating was removed and placed on another icon before the royal doors, while a new covering was created for the original. The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

St. Sylvester's Church
St. Sylvester's Church

St. Sylvester's Church (Romanian: Biserica Sfântul Silvestru) is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 36 Silvestru Street in Bucharest, Romania. It is dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God and to Saint Pope Sylvester I. A first church was built on the site before 1743, the date of the pisanie. The ktetors were Župan Pârvu the textile painter and his wife Stanca; it was dedicated to Radu Vodă Monastery. A stone dated 1760 and fixed into the wall of a nearby house mentions the donations made to the church by Stanca. After the 1802 earthquake, the church was repaired by her granddaughter, also called Stanca. It collapsed during the 1838 tremor, and was rebuilt by the following year. The 1839 iconostasis was repaired and gilt in 1930–1935. The detached bell tower, beneath which one passes to Oltarului Street, dates to 1879. The church acquired its current form during the rebuilding and enlargement of 1904–1907. Dimitrie Maimarolu was the architect, while Costin Petrescu painted the interior. The dedication to Saint Sylvester was added in 1925.Measuring 30 meters long by 13.5 meters wide, the imposing church is distinguished by the two spires above the narthex. Their twisted windows recall the Curtea de Argeș Cathedral. A large dome rises above the nave. All three domes have vaulted roofs. The portico resembles a large open baldachin; its columns have Corinthian capitals. The nave has semi-circular apses, suggested on the exterior by a slight bulge. The church sits on a high stone base, and features a finely ornamented facade. Above the portico, there is a row of five windows behind small arches and columns. The nave windows have stained glass without figures, while the facade ones feature icons of saints. The interior has two rows of painted columns decorated with floral motifs and gilt capitals. The two stoves of enameled tile are decorated with religious subjects.In 2002, Patriarch Teoctist brought back relics of the patron saint from the Vatican, giving them as a gift to the parish. The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. Also listed is the bell tower. Constantin Galeriu, who served as parish priest from 1975, is buried on the grounds.
