Description The roof is made of stone plates. The mural paintings inside the church, on an ultramarine background, dates from the 15th century, and the painter who made it put a simple signature: Stefan. Baby Jesus, dressed in a Romanian popular outfit, and hold by Virgin Mary is represented on one of the pillars. Unfortunately, many paintings were destroyed by Reformists during Middle Ages.

Specialists say that the church of Densus could be a copy of San Nicoara Church from Curtea de Arges, of which only some ruins are to be found nowadays. The coincidence is that it has the same dedication day as the church from Arges, namely Saint Nicholas’ day.

No, I have not, sorry Rowanelle. It was forbidden to take shots inside.
