CHURCH

Old Princely Court Church

(Biserica Curtea Veche; Click here ; Str Franceza; 7am-8pm) The Old Princely Court
Church, built from 1546 to 1559 during the reign of Mircea Ciobanul (Mircea the Shep-
herd), is Bucharest's oldest church. The faded 16th-century frescoes next to the altar are
originals. The carved stone portal was added in 1715.

Stavropoleos Church

(Str Stavropoleos; 7am-8pm) The tiny and lovely Stavropoleos Church, which dates
from 1724, perches a bit oddly just a block over from some of Bucharest's craziest Old
Town carousing, but it's one church that will make a lasting impression, with its courtyard
filled with tombstones and an ornate wooden interior. Romanian architect Ion Mincu de-
signed the courtyard and restored this little gem in 1899.
