Archepiscopal Cathedral of Galați

The Greek church of Galaţi was built from 1864-6 to 1872 by Greek merchants. At the main entrance, on a marble plaque, are engraved the names of the main founders of the church: Andreas Panas, Dimitrios Rodokanakis, Constantin Sakomanos. The communist regime made several attempts to destroy the church, but it survived thanks to the active resistance of its clergy.

The fortified church of St. Precistus was built between 1643 and 1647 and is a symbol of the city. It was built in what was then Moldavia under Ottoman administration. Half a century after the completion of the construction of the Precista church, the Ottoman Empire was in decline, and for more than a century the church was damaged in wars involving Austria, Russia and the Ottoman Empire. In 1940, during the Second World War (1939-1945), a great earthquake seriously damaged the church. It was restored between 1952 and 1966 and functioned as a museum of medieval religious art. Further restoration and consolidation took place during the years 1991-1994, after which the church was returned to Orthodox worship.

The Synagogue in Râmnicu Sărat was reportedly built in 1855. Sixteen lancet windows on the north side, six on the south side, and four on the east side give light to the prayer hall. A second tier of small round windows lights the women's gallery. The windows are decorated on the building exterior with intervening pilasters and curved blind arches. A semicircular apse on the east side of the building marks the niche of the Torah ark. The vestibule of the synagogue serves as a small prayer room and leads to the main prayer hall. The women's gallery occupies an upper tier (balcony) that compasses the main prayer hall on three sides.
