CATHOLIC CATHEDRAL
Built between 1752 and 1780, this cathedral is the largest Baroque religious building in Romania (78 by 40 meters). The facades are covered in Carrara marble, the influence of the Italian architect who carried out the construction project. Some of the interior paintings date back to the time of its construction, such as those on the superb dome; others were added in the 19th and 20th centuries. Also noteworthy are the great organs. A simple cathedral until 1991, Pope John Paul II promoted it to basilica status that year.
