People with strong faith, the inhabitants of the Delta, have erected various places of worship in these lands. Whether we're talking about Lipovan Orthodox churches, Catholic churches, cathedrals, or hermitages perched on sandbars amidst the waters, you can find them all here.<\/p>

Among the oldest of them are the Roman-Catholic Church of St. Nicholas, consecrated in 1863, and the Greek Church, built between 1866-1867, from limestone and Maltese stone, by the Hellenic Community, with the support of the European Commission of the Danube, both of these churches being located in Sulina.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Another important sightseeing is the Church of Saint Archangels Michael and Gabriel from Chilia Veche. With its 42 meters tall towers, it is the second highest church in the country. Another interesting feature of this church is that train tracks were used to make its metal structure.\u00a0<\/p>

Also appreciated by tourists is the imposing Cathedral of Saint Alexander and Saint Nicholas, located in on the riverfront in Sulina. Its construction began in 1910 at the request of King Carol I, to honor the heroes who had fallen during the War of Independence, but it was completed only in 1982. It shelters some special elements such as the bishop's chair which, it is said, ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza himself sat on or the iconostasis, gilded in gold and silver and painted by Gheorghe T\u0103t\u0103r\u0103scu.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
