Timisoara Cathedral

The Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral is at the end of PiaĊ£a Victoriei. The large cross is made of wood and is a memorial to those who died in 1989. The cathedral was built between 1936 and 1946.


Unique to the church are its electrical bells cast from iron imported from Indonesia.

The windows and tiles above look like faces.

It was very odd to see this sign on the side of the church because it is from the most extreme Orthodox believers almost cult-like.
There is a collection of 16th to 19th century religious icons on wood and glass in the basement of the church.
This is on the church to signify the disappearance of a teenager during the revolution.
