Română: Biserica Bunavestire - Schitul Maicilor, Bucuresti
English: "The Annunciation" - Schitul Maicilor ["Nuns Hermitage"] Church
finished in 1726 One of several Bucharest churches moved from their original location during the communist dictatorship and dumped behind new highrise buildings. After the devastating earthquake of 1977 Nicolae Ceausescu realized that he can remodel Bucharest on a large scale. An area larger than historic Venice in several beautiful residential neighborhoods was demolished to make way for a new administrative center. In total more than 30 churches were demolished all over the town during that time. After a unique, brave and singular protest of several historians only 7 historically important churches were "saved" by relocation behind large buildings, to make them "invisible". The translation was technically done by first pouring a reenforced concrete foundation underneath the church and then slowly moving it to the new location on rails. People used to joke back then that Bucharest was the only city in the world to have its own unique traffic sign: CAUTION, CROSSING CHURCHES [like the deer crossing sign] |
