After the reconstruction, the church preserved Baroque features. It remained open for believers even during the Soviet period. That’s why not only the external decoration but also the interiors with stucco, stained glass, murals were perfectly preserved. Catholic Church in Murafa on Google Maps. Photos by: Maxim Ritus.
