Orthodox Cathedral: The first subscription in
view of building an Orthodox Cathedral in Targu Mures, goes back to 1907.
The construction was started on May 1925 and was finished on 2 December
1934 upon initiative and steady support of mayor Emil A. Dandea, following
the design of architect Iosif Victor Vlad. Erected under the shape of a
Greek cross, the church encloses a true masterpiece of Romanian church
painting – the decoration of the dome is work of master Aurel Ciupe.
Between 1974-1986 the internal walls were covered with frescoes executed
by a group under the guidance of master Nicolae Stoica, and the dedication
of the painting was performed on 11 November 1990.
