Church of St. George from Ceamurlia de Sus
Tulcea County
About
In Ceamurlia de Sus is the Church dedicated to St. M. Mc. George". This is almost 200 years old, having been built in 1839.
Local residents believe that it was founded by Zaporizhzhya Cossacks before 1855, which is why the Turkish administration gave it the first name, which in translation means new Cossacks. The name of the village is the current one and not the original one. There is a possibility that the two names circulated in parallel, as happened in the case of other localities. The place of the Cossacks was later taken by the Bulgarians, probably until 1877, then, after the population change in 1940, by the Aromanians from Quadrilater (303 families).
It is worth saying that the church was recently rehabilitated.
