Catedrala Ortodoxă Sfânta Treime Arad

The Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Arad is one of the most imposing churches of the city, a monumental place of worship raised in the twentieth century to meet the needs of the Orthodox community. The large edifice blends elements of Byzantine architecture with Moldavian and Brancovan influences, with broad domes and an outline that dominates the urban landscape. The interior is richly decorated with fresco and mosaic painting, a carved iconostasis and chandeliers, creating a solemn atmosphere.

The cathedral is a centre of religious life in Arad and an architectural landmark admired by visitors. Through its scale and decoration it reflects the importance of the Orthodox community in this multicultural city of the Banat. Set in the central area, the cathedral fits naturally into a sightseeing route; visitors are asked to respect the quiet and the schedule of services.
