St. George's Cathedral
Domul Romano-Catolic
A Baroque cathedral on the east side of Unirii Square, designed by a Viennese architect, with an altarpiece by a noted painter.
The Roman Catholic St. George's Cathedral was built between 1736 and 1774. Its design comes from the circle of Viennese court architect Fischer von Erlach, and it is the most important Baroque building in the Banat region. The high altarpiece is by Viennese painter Daniel Gran, and the organ has an outstanding tone, so organ concerts are often held here. Outside of Mass times, visitors may enter free of charge; dress modestly.
