Summary/Abstract: After the demolition and systematic destruction of the churches in the communist period, special attention is given to Romanian cultural heritage since 1990. Thus under the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage have started many activities of conservation and restoration of churches and monasteries assemblies damaged and intentionally degraded in the communist period. Restoration interventions have been conducted so as to achieve a balance between the historical and the aesthetic point. Also, another aim is to keep as much of the original in the process of restoration of monasteries and church painting, without producing a historical and artistic fake or without removing the traces of transition through time of the work of art.
