History

The Orthodox cathedral was built between 1902-1906 in Byzantine style on the model of the Church of St. Sophia in Istanbul, based on the designs of Nagy Virgil and Kommer József from Budapest. The paintings on the dome and the iconostasis were made by Octavian Smigelschi and Arthur Coulin.
