The Church of St. George is located at Strada Cavafii Vechi 6, at ‘Kilometre 0’ in Romania (in relation to the kilometre markings to Bucharest) and east of Bucharest's old town. Already in 1574, Frenchman Pierre Lescalopier, who was travelling through Bucharest, mentioned two beautiful and holy places in the city centre, one of them being St. George's Church. This is one of the oldest churches in the city.
