St. Demetrius–Poștă Church

Probably destroyed after the Battle of Călugăreni in 1595 and rebuilt after 1600, the subsequent church is mentioned in a document of 1680.

It was rebuilt in stone in 1741-1746, was in poor shape in 1797, severely damaged by the 1802 earthquake and burned in 1804.

It was saved and renovated by Ioan C. Filitti, a great-nephew of the bishop, with funds offered by Mayor Dimitrie Dobrescu.

The western side has six very tall Ionic columns, above which are medallions of the Twelve Apostles.
