St Mina Orthodox church. This church is made entirely out of wood and at first glance it appears to be quite old. However it is less than ten years. It is very striking and atmospheric something I haven't really seen the like of before. I felt very drawn to it. Orthodox Christianity is the main religion here. Romania is one of the most religious countries of Europe, this can be seen in the many churches that can be seen in any city. For me this is perhaps the closest I have come to culture shock, being from the UK which is nominally Christian, I have found it at times surprising how deeply religious people here appear to be.
