Amzei Church

The chief ktetor was the deputy Vistier (treasurer) of Wallachia, Amza Năescu; following his death, the church was nicknamed after him.

A list of people to be prayed for (pomelnic) survives, carved in elegant Romanian Cyrillic; it was originally in the altar table and is now in the yard.

Construction of the present structure, designed by Alexandru Săvulescu, began in July 1898 and was completed in October 1901, as the pisanie records.

There are three entry portals with doors of carved oak; the main one, on the west side, is beneath a trefoil arch.

The interior is very high, with natural light entering through stained glass, in addition to three large bronze candelabra.
