Saint Nicholas Student's Church

Van 0907-Bucharest-July2009

or, in the local language, Sfantul Nicolae Biserica Studentilor is the most gorgeous church in Bucharest. It's built in 1905-1909 with a 600.000,00 gold rouble donation from Tsar Alexander II, and it's topped with 7 typical onion domes and crowned with an orthodox cross. The wooden, gold-gilded iconostasis is allegedly a copy of the altar in Arhangelsk Cathedral, in Moscow's Kremlin !

And for the rest we strolled in the old city centre ... lovely. Many beautiful things and persons ... see the pix :-)

huggies,
