Densus, long time ago known also as Demsus, is a locality from Hunedoara county, Romania.
In this small part of Romania, in the census from 1930 were registered about 800 people living in Densus.
Besides the gorgeous places offered by nature to Hunedoara county, here can see beautiful monuments and important monateries in the history of religion.
For example, the Saint Nicholas Church from Densus is one of the oldest church from Romania in which the liturgical service is carried out continuously until now.
This church was built in the thirteenth century, in the romanic style, on some ruins of an ancient building from the fourth century.
In a square plan, the nave is pierced by a spire around which there is a narrow space that is covered with a canopy support.
On the east there a semicircular apse, both from inside and outside, with a large diaconicon.
The entire roof is made with stone and the rooms annexes were added on the southern side between XIV-XV century.
The paintings from this church are some valuable pieces of mural painting, dating from 1443.
The building was used as a church by the Romanian dwellers that embraced the Calvinism and later it became a Catholic-Greek church.
In 1948, after the prohibition of the Romanian Unified Church with Rome the building was passed by the communist authorities in the use of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
