Sibiu - Romania's Orthodox Cathedral

Built between 1902 – 1906 in a similar style with the Saint Sofia Cathedral from Istanbul.
On this place was a Greek Church built in 1778.
The architects were Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner from Budapest.
Fresco paintings were made by Octavian Smigelschi and Arthur Coulin.
The interior is dominated by a massive gold chandelier, about which swirl wisp of incense and neo Byzantine decorations.
At the entrance a massive carved door that bears a German insignia.
This is the second largest Orthodox Cathedral in Romania.

I once climbed Suru. What a trip that was. Your photos are making me homesick for Romania even though I'm American ;)

This is a breathtaking shot.
