Opposite the old town hall on the east side of the
Council Square and hidden behind an archway lies the Romanian Orthodox
Cathedral. Its portal which serves as the parish house faces the square
trying to blend among the merchant's houses. The cathedral was built in
Byzantine style in 1896 under the care of the archpriest Bartolomeu
Baiulescu; the church was modeled after the Greek church in Viena. It is
worth entering the church for the frescoes and the impressive decorations.
Address: Piata Sfatului, 3.
