Saint Charalambos Church, Iași, Orthodox church in central Iași, Romania.

Saint Charalambos Church features three spires and contains a rectangular shape with a semicircular altar wall built on stone foundations.

Initially constructed of wood in 1704, the church was rebuilt with brick in 1785 and underwent several reconstructions due to damage from invaders.

The church maintains relics of Saint Charalambos and holds regular services, continuing centuries-old Romanian Orthodox traditions in the region.

Located at 4 Octav Botez Street in Iași, the church operates a bakery and food pantry that serves the local community.

According to Mihail Sadoveanu's account, the church was built by Gheorghe Leondarie seeking forgiveness for accidentally killing his brother during a pursuit.
