Pereche Maramureșană by Traian Bilțiu Dăncuș

"În vain have I traveled across countries and seas, eager to learn and see; I have always held the clear conviction that the beauties and treasures of others can only encourage us to appreciate even more our own, to sing of our unsung beauties – to contribute to humanity our share of Romanian civilization – which we have not yet offered – with all its beauties, possibilities, and treasures."

– Traian Bilțiu-Dăncuș, 1969

The Densus Church

This unique church, also known as the Sfântul Nicolae Church, is a lesser-known historical site in Romania. Located in the village of Densus, it dates back to the 13th century and is one of the oldest churches in the country.

What makes this church particularly noteworthy is its architecture. It was built using stones from the ancient Roman castrum, Sarmizegetusa, and its design resembles that of a fortress, with a square tower and a polygonal apse.

Densus Church is a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into Romania's rich history and cultural heritage.
