Densus

 Densus in BUCHAREST

Discover a unique, yet beautiful piece of architecture. The small village of Densus, close to the towns of Deva and Hateg, can easily go by unnoticed. Still, it hosts a very old orthodox church, built in the 13th century. The unique and somewhat strange architecture reminds of the Romanesque style, but the construction is almost certainly the work of a local builder, without too much experience in style. What's unique about this church is the building material.

The builders used tiles, tombstones and columns, and even small statues and a stone-carved figure of a lion. These were undoubtedly brought here from the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, only a few kilometers away.
