ARMENIAN CATHEDRAL

The imposing Armenian Church of the Holy Trinity(Sfânta Treime) was built between 1748 and 1804, at a time when Gherla was one of the most important centers of the Armenian community in Eastern Europe. All white, in Transylvanian Baroque style, with three towers, it houses ^14th-century gospels, including one written in Cyprus in 1316. Also on display is a painting attributed to Rubens, The Descent from the Cross. The high altar and secondary altars are decorated with typically Baroque paintings and statues.
