Precista fortified church in Galați

The Precista fortified church features thick walls measuring 1.8 meters, three semi-circular chambers, and a defensive bridge system with 28 ramparts.

Built between 1643 and 1647 during Vasile Lupu's rule, the church replaced an earlier wooden structure and endured multiple invasions by Turkish forces.

The church incorporates architectural elements from Moldova, Wallachia, and Transylvania regions, reflecting the diverse influences of Romanian religious construction techniques.

The bell tower displays a distinctive prism shape with angled cinderblocks at its peak, while the nave features an eight-sided spire covered in decorative elements.
