Romania - Sibiu - Holy Trinity Cathedral
Holy Trinity Cathedral in Sibiu, Romania.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, Sibiu (Romanian: Catedrala Sfânta Treime din Sibiu), located at 35 Mitropoliei Street, Sibiu, Romania, is the seat of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu and Metropolitan of Transylvania. It was built in the style of a Byzantine basilica, inspired by Hagia Sophia,[1] with the main spires influenced by Transylvanian church architecture and Baroque elements.[1]
The idea of building an Orthodox cathedral in Sibiu began with Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna, who in the autumn of 1857 asked Emperor Franz Joseph I for permission to send a circular to his diocese requesting that priests and laymen give donations. He sent the letter before Christmas that year, and the first donor was the Emperor himself, who gave 1000 gold coins, followed by the governor of Transylvania with 50, Şaguna with 2000 florins, and many others. Donations continued to come in following Şaguna's death in 1873; the cornerstone was laid on 18 August 1902, when Ioan Meţianu was Metropolitan. In order to free the space to build the cathedral (which took up five lots on Mitropoliei Street and three on Xenopol Street, where it also has an entrance), eight nearby houses had to be demolished, as well as the little Greek church built in 1797-1799 that had heretofore served as a cathedral.[2][3]
Work, coordinated by city architect Iosif Schussnig, began in 1902 and was finished in 1904, when the copper roof was done. The plan, by Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner of Budapest, was chosen from among designs submitted by 31 mainly Austrian and Hungarian architects. On 13 December 1904, the four bells were blessed and placed in the two main spires (during World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Army melted the three bells in the western spire for use as cannons; these were not replaced until 1926).[1] The iconostasis and kliros were then manufactured at Constantin Babic's firm in Bucharest; electric lighting was also installed. The iconostasis (of gilt carved wood) and dome (showing Christ Pantocrator flanked by angels) were painted by Octavian Smigelschi, from the nearby village of Ludoș.[2]
The exterior is in red and yellow brick. The spacious nave is bordered by smaller spherical roofs and four towers: two smaller octagonal ones, and two larger ones near the entrance with a square base that becomes octagonal in the bell area. The ends of the towers are shaped like double bulbs, with a skylight in the centre. The main entrance is through a portico with three semicircular doors. Behind this and between the main towers is an ample semicircular vestibule with a similarly-shaped stained-glass window, while the outside is decorated with round mosaics showing Jesus and the Four Evangelists.[2] The cathedral is 53.10m long and 25.40m wide in the centre, the dome 24.70m high (34.70m on the exterior) and 15m in diameter, while the spires are 43m high (45m including the crosses).[1]
On 30 April 1906, Metropolitan Meţianu, joined by his suffragan bishop from Arad, Ioan Papp, and a group of priests and deacons, consecrated the cathedral. Nicolae Iorga was also present; he donated a silver engolpion and a valuable icon. Since its dedication, the cathedral has undergone a number of restorations and improvements: the walls have been decorated with neo-Byzantine paintings by Iosif Keber and Anastasie Demian, and liturgical objects, vestments, books and a sound system have all been added. Divine Liturgy and Vespers take place daily, as well as other services when provided for.

10 PLACES TO VISIT IN ARAD
Ghidul orașului Arad. Arad City Guide.
I suppose that everyone who is a consumer of Romanian Hub content and studies the Romanian language would eventually like to go to Romania. While I live abroad in Thailand, I do go back home occasionally so I have a good archive of photos and videos which I want to share with you in this new series called Romanian Travel Guides.
Here are 10 places you should visit next time you’re in Arad.
1.
Palatul administrativ
The Administrative Palace
Built between 1872 and 1876, Palatul administrativ has a U-shaped building with a central clock tower that is 54 m heigh. Its overall architecture combines characteristics of new-Renaissance with the style of late medieval town halls.
2.
Malul Mureșului
Mureș River Bank
The northern bank of Mureș River, the second longest river in Romania, is flanked by kilometers long parks where you can jog, cycle, or just go for a walk. It can be easily reached from almost anywhere downtown.
3.
Podul pietonal peste Mureș
Pedestrian Bridge over Mureș
You can cross Mureș River on a fairly new pedestrian bridge and enter Ștrandul Neptun, an open air public swimming pool. During the off-season, when the pool is closed, you can still cross the river and chill out at one of the restaurants on the river bank.
4.
Catedrala Nașterea Sfântului Ioan Botezătorul
Nativity of Saint John the Baptist Catedral
This Ortodox cathedral was built between 1862 and 1865 and it is a beautiful example of classical neo-Baroque style of architecture.
5.
Teatrul Clasic Ioan Slavici
Ioan Slavici Classic Theatre
The theatre is centrally located in the axis of the city’s main boulevard and has a seating capacity of 1,250. The theatre was damaged by fire twice, in 1883 and 1957, but its Neo-Classical architectural style has been preserved.
6.
Monumentul Ostașului Român
The Romanian Soldier Monument
This monument is located behind Teatrul Clasic Ioan Slavici in Piața Avram Inacu, one of the largest public squares in the city. It was build to honor the Romanian soldiers who gave their life to free Romanian from fascist occupation.
7.
Catedrala Sfânta Treime
Holy Trinity Cathedral
This cathedral is a fairly new addition to the cityscape of Arad as it was inaugurated only in 2008. It has four domes and four golden crosses are mounted on each one of the domes. It’a a massive structure facing the city’s major roundabout.
8.
Lacul de la Pădurice
Little Forest Lake
Next to Catedrala Sfânta Treime there’s a quiet little artificial lake which takes its name after an adjoining park full of trees. During the winter, the lake transforms in an outdoor ice-skating rink while in milder weather it gives a nice reflection of the surrounding architecture.
9.
Consiliul Județean Arad
Arad City Council
The glass building of Arad City Council might not have a classical look like most of the architecture downtown Arad, but it’s modern look makes for a good photo opportunity.
10.
Cartierul Podgoria
Podgoria Neighborhood
Cartierul Podgoria is small and quaint neighborhood located right in the center of the city. Its alleys, brick four-story apartment buildings, and green areas make it as the perfect location for a walkabout in your city exploration.
If you’re coming to Romania from Hungary, then Arad must be your first stopover. Or else, make sure you spend one or two days in this great hometown of mine.
Let me know in the comments section what’s your favourite place in Romania or what destinations you’d like to travel to. And, don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE. In that way you won’t miss the next episode.
