Summary/Abstract: Located in southern Moldova, Beşalma, predominantly inhabited by Gagauz Turks, has a truly stunning local church which dominates the village’s center with its shiny metal-covered domes. The church is a fine example of Muscovy Baroque, a style that gained a lot of ground in the religious architecture present in the villages founded by Gagauz Turks and Bulgarians in the 19th century.
