Mântuleasa Church

The church is named after the street on which it stands, which in turn derives from a wealthy merchant, Manta, who owned land in the area.

It was built by his sister Maria and his wife Stanca, according to the pisanie of 1733.

The portico has three arches in the main facade and one on each side; these rest on massive cylindrical columns of painted brick.

The octagonal dome, with narrow windows, sits on a square base above the elongated narthex.

[1] The church is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, as is the parish house.
