Kretzulescu Church, Romanian Orthodox church in Revolution Square, Bucharest, Romania.
The red brick church stands at the corner of Calea Victoriei, featuring intricate architectural details and traditional Orthodox design elements across its facade.
Built between 1720 and 1722 by Iordache Crețulescu and his wife Safta, the daughter of Constantin Brâncoveanu, the church reflects the architectural trends of that period.
The interior frescoes, painted by Gheorghe Tattarescu in 1859-1860, showcase the artistic traditions of Romanian Orthodox religious art through detailed biblical scenes.
Visitors can access the church daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with the main entrance located near the former Royal Palace in central Bucharest.
The church survived demolition plans during the communist period and maintains its original porch frescoes from the 18th century, despite numerous renovations.
