About the place
The foundation stone was laid on 10 May 1925 at the initiative of Archpriest Ștefan Rusu, and the church was completed in 1934 to plans by the architect Victor Vlad of the Politehnica in Timișoara. It replaced an 18th-century wooden church that had become too small. It is built on a Greek-cross plan; the iconostasis was finished in 1934 by Traian Bobletec of Nazna, but the interior murals only in 1986.
From the front of the cathedral, Piața Trandafirilor, the main square, runs south-west to the Palace of Culture. On the way you pass the Apollo Palace, the Toldalagi Palace, home of the Ethnography and Folk Art Museum, and the National Theatre. The cathedral holds 4.5 on Google from 847 reviews.
