The Church of the Holy Emperors Constantine and Helena (Biserica Sfinții Împărați Constantin și Elena) is a historic Orthodox church in the Podu Roș area of Iași. The present stone-and-brick building dates from 1814, but it replaced an earlier wooden church founded in the 18th century when this part of the city was still developing south of the Princely Court.
The first church on the site was built by the Greek priest Poliz of Thessaloniki on land granted by Prince Matei Ghica and later confirmed by Scarlat Ghica. By the middle of the 18th century, a small neighborhood known as Broșteni had grown around this southern approach to the city, with paved streets, shops, and houses extending toward the Bahlui River. The wooden church served that community until Gheorghe Catargiu rebuilt it in masonry in 1814.
The church underwent a major repair in 1866 but retained its basic early-19th-century form. For many years it functioned as a dependent church of the Princely Church of Saint Nicholas, becoming an independent parish in 1936. The interior was painted in fresco between 1969 and 1974, while later work included the replacement of the iconostasis with one made from oak and rosewood and the addition of a larger entrance porch.
Inside, the plan is divided into porch, pronaos, nave, and altar, with a square bell tower rising above the western part of the church. A metal door from 1814, inscribed in Romanian using Cyrillic characters, survives as one of the clearest elements from the rebuilding of that year.
