The Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Krețulescu


The Cretulescu Church, considered one of the most valuable architectural monuments of the city at the end of the Brancoveanu period, was built in 1720 - 1722 by the great logopath Iordache Cretulescu and his wife Safta, one of the daughters of Prince Constantin Brancoveanu . The great logopath also built an inn in the vicinity of the church, not only because it was customary at that time, but also because here was, at that time, the northern barrier of the city, on the "big street" or "Mogoșoaiei Bridge ", in the place then called" The Well with Chains
