Slobozia Church, Eastern Orthodox church in central Bucharest, Romania
Slobozia Church is an Eastern Orthodox religious building in central Bucharest, situated where Dimitrie Cantemir and Marășești Boulevards meet. The structure has a rectangular design with rounded extensions and classical architectural details throughout.
Construction started in 1664 under Radu Leon at a location marked by a stone cross commemorating a military victory by Leon Tomșa in 1631. This church became part of Bucharest's religious landscape over many centuries.
The church blends Western artistic styles with Romanian traditions through its interior murals, showing how sacred art changed during the 19th century. This mix appears clearly in the icon paintings and the way the altar space is decorated.
The building maintains regular visiting hours for those wishing to explore its historical architecture, and visitors should wear appropriate clothing when entering. It helps to check current conditions before planning your visit.
During the Bucharest Metro construction in 1986, workers filled a tunnel with sand to prevent further damage after cracks appeared in the altar area. This event shows the challenges faced when protecting historic buildings in a growing city.
