  • Subiect: Church „Saintes Emperor's Constantin and Elena” From Simila villages, Zorleni commune, Vaslui district The church devoted to "Saint Nicholas" and "Saintes emperors Constantin and Elena" from Simila village, Zorleni commune, Vaslui district, was built by Greceanu boyars in XIX century; it is a mixture of tradition (plane) and innovation (neoclassical elements and some of Russian influence) and might represent one of the few example of fortified churches from Ruşi diocese. It has a clubs shape plane, semicircle apses, steeple raised on top of the porch, entrance from the west; a stone foundation (cea. 1,5 m deep ), walls made by bricks, an articulated roof, now made by zinc sheet (older by shingle). The church also contains a very interesting system of vaults (for the porch, pronaos, naos-vault on pendants, lateral apses-semi calottes, flattened altar-vault), wooden floors and carpentry. Facades are decorated with neo classical elements (triangle gable, semicircle windows framed with decorative elements in relief, free columns, simple capitals, rectangular panels deepened in the masonry and mouldings retired under comice that offer impression of rise of the monument); steeple has four levels (cea. 16 m high) and is decorate in the same manner as the church. The church has many access ways to cafas (balcony where the chorus sing), pulpit and cellar (a 3 m tunnel and a vertical channel directly from the garret). The cult mobile inventory given by Greceanu boyars is largely degraded or disappears because of the greed or ignorance of the following generations.
