Schitul Darvari Church, Romanian Orthodox church near Gradina Icoanei park, Bucharest, Romania
The cross-shaped church measures 19 by 8 meters with an octagonal dome resting on a square base above the central nave area.
The original structure from 1834 was replaced during extensive renovations in 1933-1934, when architect Gheorghe Simotta created the current building in Oltenian-Muntenian style.
The interior walls display neo-Byzantine frescoes painted by artist Iosif Keber, depicting religious scenes and Orthodox Christian imagery throughout the space.
The church gates open daily from 7:30 to 19:30, with morning services from 7:30 to 10:30 and evening services from 17:00 to 18:30.
The church maintains a frankincense workshop producing traditional aromatic resins using recipes from Mount Athos monasteries in Greece.
