Turcheș Church
The Turcheș Church is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 227–232 Ilie Minea Street, Săcele, Romania. Located in Turcheș, a former village that is now a district of Săcele, it is dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos. The local Orthodox community had a wooden church by 1650, when it requested permission to carry out repairs. The 1781 Patent of Toleration allowed for stone Orthodox churches to be built in the Habsburg monarchy. Taking advantage of the new freedom, the Romanians of Turcheș asked and received the right to build a new stone church, citing the fact that their wooden church, some two centuries old, lay in ruin. Construction began in 1781, as recorded above the nave entrance, and was completed in 1783.Description at the Săcele tourist office site The crucif ...

History is the systematic study of the past, focusing primarily on the human past. As an academic discipline, it analyses and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened. Some theorists categorize history as a social science, while others see it as part of the humanities or consider it a hybrid discipline. Similar debates surround the purpose of history—for example, whether its main aim is theoretical, to uncover the truth, or practical, to learn lessons from the past. In a more general sense, the term ''history'' refers not to an academic field but to the past itself, times in the past, or to individual texts about the past. Historical research relies on primary and secondary sources to reconstruct past events and validate interpretations. Source criticism is used to evaluate these sources, assessing their authenticity, content, and reliability. Historians strive to integrate the perspectives of several sources to develop a ...
