 | | Situated in the vicinity of the city of Arad, on the left bank of the Mures River, in the village of Bodroghiu Vechi, the old Romanian monastery of Hodos-Bodrog was founded in 1177 by the noble Iacsici family, whose arms can be seen on the frontispiece of the bell-tower. |
 | | The church was restored in the Baroque style in 1766 and was given a new tower; the narthex and the original minutely decorated iconostasis were preserved. |
 | | On the White Cris and on the Mures Valley, there are orthodox wooden churches built during the XVIIth and XIXth centuries, such as the ones from Bodesti, Corbesti, Cristesti, Grosii Noi, Ionesti, Luncsoara, Madrigesti, Poiana, Varfurile, Julita, Troas. |
