Biserica Millennium Timișoara

The Millennium Church in Timișoara, in the Fabric district, is the city's largest Roman Catholic place of worship, an imposing church raised in the early 20th century to mark a thousand years since the settlement of the Hungarians in the Carpathian basin. The edifice, built in Neo-Romanesque style with Neo-Baroque accents, stands out for the two twin towers flanking its facade, for its central dome and for its generous dimensions, which make it dominate the landscape of the Fabric district, one of Timișoara's old industrial and residential nuclei. Inside, the church houses a monumental altar, a valuable organ and painted decoration that heightens the solemnity of the space.

Raised in exposed brick, with elaborate ornament, the Millennium is an architectural landmark of the city known as a European Capital of Culture. Practical note: combine the visit with a walk through the Fabric district, with its Secession buildings, and with the discovery of Union Square in the historic centre.
