Densuş Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Densuş Church (aka Saint Nicholas Church) of the village of Densuş, Hunedoara County, Romania is one of the oldest Romanian churches still standing.
It was built in the 13th century in the place of a 2nd century Roman temple, with some materials taken from the Dacian Sarmizegetusa fortress. It features a stone tower above the naos. Inside the church there are 15th century mural paintings which show Jesus wearing Romanian traditional clothes.
