This is a wonderful old church but it has been under renovations for the past few times that I visited. Even from the outside, it is a wonderful church.

we visited the church one week ago, the entrance fees is around 1 euro per person, and 0.5 euro for student, the church looks beautiful from the outside, but the inside still under reconstruction, so it wasn't on our expectations. but we were really impressed from the outside architecture.

This is a very beautiful and old church, located close to the centre of the city. It is worth visiting and inspiring. I definitely recommend it, especially during the mass from Sundays morning, when one can actually hear the fantastic choir (men choir).

Very heavy restoration underway, but the building is still a highlight of any visit to Iasi. We hope to visit again when restoration has completed.

It is said that at the time when it was built, in the 17th century they were all plated in gold. During an invasion, Ottoman Turks thought the whole church is built... More
