About this audio guide
This guide to Zlătari's Church on Calea Victoriei in Bucharest follows a legend from ancient Antioch: a sorcerer called Cyprian, a pagan suitor with a commission, and a young woman named Justina who would not be moved. It then brings you to the reliquary in front of the altar and the Romanian believers who come to it. Along the way you'll meet the goldsmiths behind the church's name and the painter Gheorghe Tattarescu's panels on the walls. Best heard standing near the altar.
