The Orthodox Cathedral, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral, is a Romanian Orthodox church in Timișoara. The cathedral is the seat of the Archbishopric of Timișoara and the Metropolis of Banat. It is dedicated to the Three Holy Hierarchs, Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom.

Built on an area of 1,542 m2, it has 11 towers, of which the central one has a height of 90.5 m, making it the second tallest church in Romania, after the People's Salvation Cathedral in Bucharest. The cathedral is listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments.

Extremely beautiful cathedral, atmosphere of kindness and holy.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Timișoara is current the tallest church in Romania. Set at one end of the Operei Square, its 90m height towers all of the surrounding buildings.

It was built between 1936 and 1941 and is one of the main symbols of the city. Its architectural style is somewhat unique for an Orthodox church since it is a combination of Romanian Moldavian traditions with the Byzantine architecture style.

A very beautiful Orthodox church in Timisoara, in many ways different from Orthodox churches in Serbia. Very nice architecture. We came unprepared to Timisoara and the only thing we knew was that the church had a green roof, so we looked for it by asking the inhabitants of Timisoara: Excuse me, where is the church with a green roof??? And they looked at us in amazement. :)

Very nice

Must see in Timisoara. Free entrance.

Breath taking piece of arhitecture!! It's a must see!

The Timişoara Ortodox Cathedral is a Romanien Ortodox church. The cathedral is the seat of the Archbishop of Timişoara and Metropolis of Banat. It is dedicted to the Three Holy Hierarchs. Built on an area of 1542 m2, it has 11 towers, of which the central and the highest has a height of 90.5 m.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals in Europe!

The cathedral houses the relics of Joseph the New, considered the protector of the Romanian Orthodox in Banat, former Orthodox bishop of Timișoara (1651–1655), who came from Mount Athos and then retreated to the Partoș Monastery. On 25 February 1950, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church decided to canonize Joseph the New, as well as to relocate his relics from the church of the Partoș Monastery to the Metropolitan Cathedral of Timișoara.
In the basement of the cathedral is the collection of religious art of the Metropolis of Banat. This collection, organized at the initiative of Nicolae Corneanu since 1962, includes objects of ancient religious art from all over Banat. The collection currently holds over 3,000 rare volumes of church books, over 800 religious icons and paintings and over 130 church objects (precious metal artifacts, clothing and ornaments).There is also a collection of early writings in Romanian. Examples include the 1648 Noul Testament de la Bălgrad ("The New Testament of Bălgrad") and the 1643 Cazania lui Varlaam ("The Homiliary of Varlaam").The side of the basement from the altar includes the necropolis of the metropolitans of Banat. The first metropolitan buried here was Vasile Lăzărescu [ro] (metropolitan during 1947–1961).

For me is the most and impressive building in Timișoara with a lot of history!

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Timisoara is one of the most expensive buildings in the city and one of the most successful architectural monuments in our country. Located in the center of the city, at the intersection of the most important traffic arteries, the cathedral dedicated to the Three Holy Hierarchs impresses with its significant dimensions, its architectural specificity and its enamelled tile covering, which shines wonderfully in the sunlight.
The Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Three Hierarchs was built between 1936 and 1940, according to the sketch of the architect Ioan Troianescu, being declared an art monument for its architecture, painting and sculpture. The actual construction of the cathedral began in 1936, with the consecration of the foundation stone, by Bishop Andrei Magieru of Arad.
The building works stretched over almost five years, the cathedral today stretches over an area of ​​over one thousand five hundred square meters, the total volume of the interior being over fifty thousand cubic meters. The cathedral has no less than eleven towers, of which the main tower is almost eighty-four meters. The construction has a length of sixty-three meters and a width of thirty-two meters. Around five thousand believers can take part in the services performed here. In the towers of the cathedral there are seven large, particularly powerful bells.
In the fall of 1946, after ten years of effort, the new metropolitan residence, adorned with the best and most chosen works, was waiting for the solemnity of its dedication and dedication to the cult for which it was intended. Thus, October 6, 1946 was chosen as the day of the great feast of the Orthodox in Banat. Patriarch Nicodim Munteanu and King Mihai I participated in this great procession, together with the entire episcopate of the Transylvanian Metropolis and representatives from all corners of the Romanian land. Due to the Second World War, the interior and exterior finishes and paintings were only finished in 1956.
