The Name of the Touristic Attraction: <\/strong>The Church in Titerle\u0219ti<\/p>\n Location:<\/strong> in Titerle\u0219ti, Baia de Aram\u0103 Locality, Mehedin\u021bi County, at 72 km from Drobeta Turnu Severin. The church is located near the road connecting Baia de Aram\u0103 to Baile Herculane.<\/p>\n Description: <\/strong>The parish church in Titerle\u015fti is dedicated to “Saint Voivodes Michael and Gabriel “and it is declared a historical monument. On the spot where the church is built, there were no previous buildings. The church was built with the help of the inhabitants of Titerle\u015fti and Bratilov villages, between 1862-1863, during the priest Iordache Constantin, painted on the right-hand wall at the entrance to the church, together with the priestess Floarea and their son, Constantine. It is a church founded in the time of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza, through the contribution of the Hungarian families who had settled in Bratilov and Titerle\u015fti, at that time. They had come from Transylvania, from Poiana Sibiului and since they settled in these places, decided also to build a church. The church was built with the help of the Serbian craftsmen, whose leader is painted at the entrance to the porch. A painting which years ago used to be found in the porch of the church, but which does not exist today, represented a shepherd of sheep, a clear sign that people have been in these places for years. What seems amazing about this church is that such a construction was completed in just one year, but unfortunately there are no documents to elucidate this aspect. However, there is a document that was kept in the church, framed by priest Predescu, on September 9th<\/sup>, 1982, in which he writes that the church was built of stone, with thick walls of 1 meter and that it has the form of a ship. The old church bell was hidden during the war and has not been found since. The locals believe that someone in the village told the Germans where the bell is, and they took it and melted it. The current bell of the church was brought by the ex-mayor of Orze\u015fti Commune (Titerle\u015fti used to be part of this commune too), for whom the bell was tolled for the first time at his death. In the narthex, together with the priest’s family, during which the dwelling was built, are also painted all of the church builders, dressed in folk costumes. They are painted in traditional costumes, whose details can easily be distinguished. It is one of the few churches that has painted within it all its founders. One of the founders appears painted with 3 hands. It may have been the painter’s mistake, but this issue has not been exempt from many questions that arise even today in front of the painting. There are some painted wood icons in the church, dating from 1909 -1910, which have an intense blue background, just like the famous blue of Vorone\u0163. So far, it has not yet been discovered with what kind of paint they are made of. On the sides of the church are painted St. Prophet John and the Emperors Constantine and Helena, probably dating from the end of the 19th century, when the church was painted. In the nave of the church, on both sides of the thick walls, there are two framed paintings in which the heroes of the First and Second World Wars are mentioned. The diaconal doors of the church have recently been replaced with doors carved with the motif of the vineyard, having on the upper side, The Archangels Michael and Gabriel, painted in the vivid colors. The old doors were framed and placed at the entrance to the church in the porch, as they have preserved quite well.<\/p>\n Information and Contact:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n The church is in the administration of the Episcopate of Severin and Strehaia:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 phone: +4 0252 333 048, +4 0252 333 039,<\/p>\n e-mail: secretariat@episcopiaseverinului.ro<\/a><\/p>\n
