St. Nicholas Tabacu Church (Popa Cosma)
St. Nicholas Tabacu Church, known in the past also as Popa Cosma, stands in the northern part of Calea Victoriei. The history of the Capital's Second Deanery lists it among the churches built or rebuilt in Bucharest in the second half of the 17th century, a period of flourishing for the city that culminated in the reign of Constantin Brâncoveanu. The present building dates from 1864 and replaced a 17th-century wooden church that stood on the same site.
