Old orthodox church

Saint Nicolae's Orthodox Church from the village of Densus, Hunedoara County is one of the oldest churches still standing in Romania. Built in the 13th century on the site of a 2nd century Roman Temple, it has a stone tower above the naos and the materials used for its construction are stones from the ruins of Ulpia Traiana Sarmisegetusa, a close-by roman colony. Inside the church are 15th century mural paintings.
