The Church of Saint Haralambie is a place of worship and an architectural monument of national significance, entered in the Register of monuments of history and culture of the municipality of Chisinau. It was built in 1836. A lapidary inscription inside it with the year 1812 testifies to a possible earlier stage in the history of the church. It was the reading room of the merchant Haralambie, whose name the street in front of the church bore for a long time.

The architecture was designed in the neoclassical style, in accordance with the “Ucazuri concerning the design of stone churches”. It has a cruciform plan, made up of rectangular elements of the plan, with an elongated longitudinal axis, the central part highlighted by a dome raised on a wide drum with arched windows. On the western arm, elongated by means of a space specific to Russian architecture – the trapeza – and widened like the eastern arm by side rooms, the bell chamber – a prismatic bay with wide openings – was built. The side walls are decorated with porticoes, crowned with triangular gables, under which are the side entrances. The church is plastered on the outside, with the background of the walls showing the details – pilasters, brackets, bays, lintels, covered in a lighter shade than the rest of the building.
