Roman chapel in Geoagiu, Medieval church ruin in Geoagiu, Romania
The Romanesque chapel features thick stone walls, a circular design with a nave diameter of 5.5 meters, and an eastern apse reaching 9.5 meters externally.
Built around 1100 by the Ákos noble family, this stone structure stands as the oldest medieval church in Romania, incorporating Roman bricks in its construction.
The chapel grounds contain over 170 graves in the churchyard, with archaeological findings revealing that children were specifically buried inside the round structure.
Located on Strada Independenței in Geoagiu, the former religious building now functions as a museum site open to visitors throughout the year.
The circular design resembles the Church of Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, suggesting possible influence from returning crusaders who traveled through Geoagiu Valley.
