Greek Church, Brăila

The Greek Church is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 3 Calea Călărașilor, Brăila, Romania. It is dedicated to the Feast of the Annunciation. In 1863, the local Greek community decided to build a church, with services in Greek. It would serve both the Greek inhabitants of the city and the Greeks who arrived from abroad in the Port of Brăila. The architect was Avraam Ioanidis of Bursa. He also supervised construction, largely executed by Italian workers. The church is cruciform, with two spires. The dominant architectural style is Byzantine Revival, with Greek, Gothic and Renaissance Revival touches.
