Bărboi Church, Orthodox church in Iași, Romania.

The church features a Greek cross layout with a central dome surrounded by smaller domes, incorporating stone blocks interlaid with brick construction.

Built between 1841 and 1843 by architect Andrei Caridi, the church stands on the foundation of an earlier structure from 1615 dedicated to Saint Paraschiva.

The interior displays three naves divided by Doric columns made of Carrara marble, complemented by a wooden gilt iconostasis and religious wall paintings.

Located at 12 Bărboi Street in Iași, the church hosts regular religious services and accommodates art exhibitions throughout the year.

The crypt contains the remains of Prince Ioan Sturdza and poet Alecu Russo, while the tower once housed writer Costache Conachi's library.
