the holy trinity (greek) orthodox church .
the romanian population didn’t have the right to live in the city until 1771 . they didn’t have the right to have their churches facing the streets until 1918 . so they had to build churches in the courtyards , like this one built in 1787 in a baroque style but without a tower or a bell . it served for romanians and greeks orthodox until 1833 . between 1833 and 1942 the service was only in greek .
in the small photo you can see the entrance from the street (baritiu street near to the council square) through this passage . one of my best friends used to live here in the house facing the street and i spent a lot of time in this place .

Beautiful murals.
I really like this picture - what a beautiful church.
lara , e usor de ajuns , din piata sfatului mergi in sus pe baritiu pe partea dreapta si aproximativ vizavi de biserica neagra e o casa mare cu 2 etaje . intre o florarie si o agentie de turism "city center kron tour" e un gang (intrarea din poza)
Nice church and images. Sorry haven't visited, I'm behind.
Growing up where there seems to be religious freedom, stories like this are shocking and sad. I'm glad things have changed.
