Timişoara Orthodox Cathedral
From Freepedia
The Timişoara Orthodox Cathedral located in Timişoara, Romania was built between 1937 and 1940.
It has 11 towers, of which the central and the highest has a height of 96 meters. In the cathedral are kept many precious Romanian religious objects such as old icons and early Romanian writings, such as "Noul Testament de la Bălgrad" (The New Testament of Bălgrad / Alba-Iulia) of 1648 and "Cazania lui Varlaam" of 1643.
The unique architectural style is quite unusual for the Romanian Orthodox Church, although some of its features are traditional Orthodox, such as the alterning red and cream-colored walls and the columns of the balcony.
