Pictures of the city of Galati, in south-eastern Romania, from early April this year (2022).

The fortress/castle of Rupea (first mentioned in 1324, German name: Castelul Reps) is close to the town of Rupea, halfway between Brasov and Sighisoara, in the northern part of Brasov county.

Rupea Fortress was a refuge for the population of the neighboring villages from the repeated siege of the Turks and Tatars. It was built in 1324 during the Saxon rebellion against the Hungarian king Carol Robert of Anjou. Later, the inhabitants added three defensive towers and two inner courtyards, which served as shelters. In the first courtyard there is a 59-meter deep well, which still flows water today.

The Church of St. Nicholas in Densuș (Demsdorf), Hunedoara County in western Romania is the oldest stone church in the country. It was built in its present form in the 13th century on the site of a 2nd-century Roman temple using materials from the Dacian fortress of Sarmizegetusa. There are 15th-century murals in the church, showing Jesus in traditional Romanian clothes.

According to Romanian historians, there was once a Dacian temple on the site of today’s church, which was built for the god Zamolxis. Later conquered by the Romans, they again built a temple there, which was dedicated to the god Mars. Given its later prehistory, the origins of this church in Densuș date back to the 4th century AD and is therefore the oldest church in Romania and south-eastern Europe.

Humorului Monastery is a convent of nuns, located about 5 km north of the town of Gura Humorului, Suceava County (historical region Bucovina).

Thanks to Mrs. Farkas Ildiko for permission to use these pictures.

The monasteries of Moldavia are located in Bucovina and were built in the 15th and 16th centuries in the then Vltava dynastic tower. The monasteries are famous for their magnificent frescoes. Many of the buildings date back to Stephen the Great, who is said to have founded a monastery for every battle he won. Eight are world heritage sites. What’s special about the Vltava monasteries is their colorful painting, which is unique in Europe. The monks wanted to bring the contents of the Holy Scriptures closer to the lower classes, who could neither read nor write. And so they used the monastery’s interior walls, facades and protective walls to depict scenes and parables from the Bible in colorful drawings, paintings and frescoes. They are considered absolute masterpieces of Byzantine art.

Nature reserve and biosphere reserve. We can’t capture the true beauties of this delta in photos, but we can help you get an idea of the aquatic paradise Romania is home to.
