Teiul Doamnei Ghica Church

In the 18th century, according to the pisanie, Vistier (treasurer) Barbu Văcărescu established a church that stood on the circle in front of the present structure.

There are four rather small, symmetrical semi-circular niches, covered in quarter-sphere roofs: two on the east, leading out of the altar, and two on the west, containing the choir balcony stairs.

The westerly entrance is preceded by a small portico with four Tuscan Doric columns, two each on a joint base, that support a triangular painted pediment.

[1] The interior was painted in oil by an Italian artist; the frescoes are Byzantine Revival with Western touches, inscribed in panels with Baroque frames.

The carved wood iconostasis, in late Viennese Baroque, is sinuous, as is the balcony railing, both adapted to the interior architecture; each also features wooden columns, with either straight or curved fluting.
