What it feels like
Beeswax candles, the faint scent of incense, the distant chant from inside. Quiet courtyards walled against the rest of the world.
The Cathedral of St Andrew the Apostle in Galați, built in 1906 in Neo-Byzantine style, is the most important religious monument in the city. The interior mosaics, the academic-style painting and the 42 m spire visible from the Danube port make it a dominant presence on the skyline of Galați.
