„Sf. Ierarh Nicolae" Church

„Sf. Ierarh Nicolae” church - 1654-1660, reconstructed in 18^th century (“Morozoaia” quarter) – Architectural monument.
This is a rectangular church, consisting of closed narthex pronaos, polygonal apse and the altar. There is no sidewalk around the church. With many elements of the transition period, the church represents a modest structure, built economically by local craftsmen. The closed narthex of masonry is an addition without value. A small wooden staircase leads from the narthex to Turlata. The elongated pronos is separated from the nave by columns with polygonal section. On the nave, which has a square shape can be entered through three royal doors of the wooden iconostasis in a semicircle altar with two small niches. The windows are in Byzantine model, are asymmetrically distributed in the plan. Thus, on the south side there is a window of the narthex, one for pronaos and two of the naos. The northern side has a window in the narthex and one for the naos. The altar has only one single window.
