In Maramureş region of northern Transylvania become a tradition to build wooden Orthodox churches. They are high timber constructions with characteristic tall, slim bell towers at the western end of the building. Starting with the 17th century, these churches are a particular expression of the cultural landscape of this area. The churches are made of thick logs and painted with Biblical scenes and with icons on glass.
After 1989, this architecture was used for several new churches in Bucharest. The biggest one is in Alexandru Ioan Cuza Park, near Titan subway station.
