Description

The oldest church in Bucharest, Romania is St. Anthonys Church in Curtea Veche, The Old Court, also known as the Curtea Veche Church.
This church was erected in the center of the former princely court by Voivode Mircea the Shepherd between 1558-1559, on the foundation of the former church that was built by Mircea the Old, who had the first princely court built in Dambovita Citadel (present day Bucharest) between 1398 and 1401. For two centuries, this was the coronation site of the rulers of Wallachia. At one time in the 1400s the princely court was the residence of Vlad the Impaler, also called Draculea or Dracula, during his reigns and wars against the Turkish Muslim invaders. I like the height and layers seen from this angle.
