May 09, 2026 How to build a church and keep it standing: from Chernivtsi to Curtea de Argeș
From Chernivtsi (Bukovina, Ukraine) to Curtea de Argeș (Romania), this episode moves between clean architectural logic and a stubborn legend of sacrifice said to keep the walls from falling apart. The cross-in-square plan, the illusion of ‘twisted’ domes, trace how Byzantine precision blends with Neoromanian flair—while the story quietly asks what really holds these structures together: engineering, tradition, or something less measurable.
As with the buildings themselves, this episode is assembled from layered sources—created using an LLM, set to an original jingle, and rooted in texts first published on the Tararumbia blog.
