Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral
The Metropolitan Cathedral is one of the most symbolic buildings in the city. It was built between 1936 and 1946. The architectural style of the building harmoniously combines elements of ancient Romanian-Moldavian architecture. With its eleven towers covered with colored, glazed tiles and a height of 83 meters, it is one of the largest churches in Romania. In the basement of the cathedral there is a museum with an extensive collection of religious art.
