Domul Romano-Catolic Timișoara

The Roman Catholic Dome in Timisoara, also known as Saint George's Cathedral, is one of the most valuable Baroque buildings in Romania, set in Union Square in the heart of the historic centre. Raised in the eighteenth century under Habsburg rule, the edifice impresses with its elegant twin-towered facade, its richly decorated interior and its Baroque altars. The dome holds its historic organ and religious works of art of great value, standing as a remarkable example of Central European ecclesiastical architecture.
The building reflects the Austrian cultural influence and the role of the Catholic community in the multicultural history of the Banat. Union Square, with its ensemble of colourful historic buildings, forms an exceptional setting for the monument. The dome is a must-see attraction of Timisoara; visitors are asked to respect the quiet and the schedule of services inside.
