The Slobozia Church (Biserica Slobozia) is a Romanian Orthodox church in Bucharest that is dedicated to the Great Martyr Saint Demetrius.
The church was built by Radu Leon between 1664 and 1667 near a stone cross that his father Leon Tomșa had placed between 1629 and 1632. The stone commemorates the victory of Leon Tomșa’s army over that of Aga Matei on 23 August 1631. The fallen victims of the battle are buried around the cross.
The church was originally built on a rectangular plan but was later enlarged and rounded by Treasurer Constantin Năsturel Herescu in 1743. The current classical look is the result of a series of modifications that took place during the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the additions were the large arches in the interior and the classicist elements on the facades.
