History

Temesvár has been the seat of the Serb Orthodox bishopric since 1748. The cathedral was built in the Baroque style under Serb Orthodox Bishop Gheorghie Popovici between 1745 and 1748, which is strange, especially as it is an Orthodox church, but the architectural style in 18th century Temesvár had to be uniformly Baroque. For political reasons, the towers were not rebuilt until 1791. The paintings are by the well-known Baroque church painter Constantin Daniel.
