Lonely Planet review for Princess Bălaşa Church

One impressive church to survive the 1980s demolitions is the candy-striped Princess Bălaşa Church. The church, just northwest of Piaţa Unirii (behind the riverside Justice Palace), is named after Brâncoveanu's sixth daughter, who had a small wooden church built here in 1744. Widowed from 1745, the princess replaced the church with a stone structure in 1751 and set up a school and asylum.

Damaged by an earthquake, the second church was replaced by a third church in 1838-42, which was subsequently damaged by floods and replaced by a fourth church in 1881-85.
