This church, which sits on top of a hill in downtown Bucharest, is the home church of the head of the Romanian Orthodox Church. It sits right next to his home (which is a palace). It is easy to see why this location was chosen, it would have given you a commanding view of the city. Of course now all you can see are the high-rise building surrounding the area.
Here is a view of the altar area inside the church. As you can see it is quite ornate. All of the Romanian Orthodox churches are decorated nicely inside but as this one is the home church of the head guy, it is even nicer.
Lastly, for all of you who know that I am a saint. Here is a picture of Saint Mark on the outside of the church.
Nice pictures, Honey! Saint???
