Even after many years of suppression and neglect, some churches have survived the Communist and Ceaușescu years in Bucharest.
Although for a long time churches have not been welcome in the Romania of Ceaușescu, and most of them have been neglected, there are still many churches to be found in the Romanian capital. Some of them still need a major overhaul, but at least their existence is now guaranteed. Before the 1989 revolution, this was not the case: many churches were destroyed in urban development projects, and some where even moved completely to another location, in order to make place for other buildings considered more important.
