Church of Colta, Historic Orthodox church in central Bucharest, Romania.
The Church of Colta is an Orthodox church in central Bucharest that combines Oriental and Italian Baroque forms. The interior is decorated with detailed frescoes covering walls and ceilings throughout the space.
The church was founded in 1699 by Mihail Cantacuzino as part of the larger Coltea complex. It is among the few structures from that era that remain standing in the city today.
The church displays the Brancovenesc style, which shaped the artistic identity of Romanian Orthodoxy. Visitors can see the ornate interior decoration that reflects local craft traditions.
The church is located on Strada Doamnei in Sector 3 and is accessible to visitors outside service hours. Wear respectful clothing and maintain quiet behavior, as it is an active place of prayer.
The building takes its name from its founder and is less well-known than other churches in the city. Its location near University Square connects it to a significant public space in Bucharest.
