The old church rises calmly among the modern blocks on the water's edge. A beautiful image, as it is.
Biserica veche se ridică liniștit între blocurile moderne de pe malul apei. O imagine frumoasă, așa cum e.

Matthew Carter That little church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, right? Looks solid against all those new blocks.
Mark Baker Yeah, Saint Nicholas. The one with the 18th-century iconostasis that survived the floods in the 90s. Still holds up against those concrete towers.
Степан Попов Yes, that’s right, they still have that old oak throne from 1782 in their altar. Stands strong even when the water in the river rises.
Христо Христов Yes, the 18th century iconostasis seems well preserved. Where exactly was this church shot and when did you catch it?
Hannah King The iconostasis sounds like it has seen some serious history. Where exactly is this church located?
Maria Müller The old stone wall looks like it dates back to at least the 17th century. The Gothic arches at the entrance stand up really well against the tall concrete blocks.
Thomas Taylor Yeah the stonework does look old. What time do they usually have services there on Sundays and is it easy to get in as a visitor?
Елена Лебедева Yes, this is the Church of St. Nicholas. They have a liturgy on Sundays at 8:30, and visitors are allowed in without any problems if they behave quietly.
Тетяна Марченко It is interesting that they have liturgy at 8:30. And how to get there by public transport, if you go from the center? Is it better by car?
Евгения Фёдорова Yes, 8:30 is convenient, I usually go by 8:15 to calmly light the candles.
