Densuș Church, Romanian Orthodox church in Densuș, Romania.
Saint Nicholas Church features a stone tower above the naos and meter-thick walls incorporating ancient Roman remains throughout its structure.
Built in the late 13th century, the church possibly stands on the location of a 2nd-century Roman temple according to local traditions.
The 15th-century mural paintings, created by artist Stefan, depict Jesus wearing traditional Romanian attire in Orthodox style.
The church is accessible via a paved road leading to Densuș village, located 160 kilometers from Timisoara International Airport.
The four interior columns consist of eight Roman votive altars from the ruins of Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, the former capital of Roman Dacia.
