important orthodox churches in Transylvania.

ill and cured with water from the healing spring from

At the Densus church, the oldest Romanian church built on an
ancient atheist temple, you will feel admiration and surprise.
Inside you can admire a fresco dated in the time of Mircea the
Old, picturing Jesus dressed in Romanian clothes.
The uniqueness of this church is the construction
materials: river gravel, tiles, funerary stones, columns, even
miniature statues or the sculpture of a lion’s face, all having
been collected by the builders from Sarmisegetusa nearby.
