Densuș Church

Inside the church there are 15th century mural paintings that show Jesus wearing Romanian traditional clothes.

The building itself is made from various Roman ruins materials: columns posts and pedestals, limestone blocks, marble blocks, tiles and terra cotta pipes, bound by raw stone and sometimes bricks, and on the roof were placed two lion statues.

[3] Archaeological work was done on the area outside the church, researchers unanimously pointing the building did not disturb any of the graves.

Since the oldest finding was a coin from the time of Sigismund of Luxemburg (14th-15th century), these two facts led to the conclusion that the current church was built just earlier than that.

[2] According to Daniela Marcu-Istrate, the analysis of the church indicates it was rebuilt around the pillar square in the naos between 1250-1400 CE.
