Map of Urziceni: Catholic church

The Romano-catholic church from Urziceni is in the locality centre. The first church made in 1725 by Ferenc Károlyi, Count Sándor Károlyi's son. In XVII century after many Tartar and Turkish attacks and epidemics as well the locality was abandoned.
In 1711 it is inhabited again by some protestant families, but Károlyi brought catholic Swabians in the locality and built them a church sacred in 1725. In 1832 the church was destroyed by a fire afterwards it was rebuilt. In 1877 the tower was modified and the clock was fixed.
The church's sanctuary is guarded by 4 pillars which sustain a cornice. The sanctuary painting represents the discovery of Holly Cross. Among the edifice painting the one dedicated to Saint Florian (firemen paroch) offers the image of the old church and represents the extinction efforts.
