Oradea - Saint Ladislaus Roman Catholic Cathedral
Orthodox monastery in Bihor county
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 Roman Catholic Cathedral of Saint Ladislaus in Oradea (1752-1780), built in Baroque style, is the largest Roman Catholic cathedral in Romania. The 22 m main altar, the paintings by Johann Ignaz Cimbal and the organ with 5,000 pipes make it a monument of sacred art of the first rank.
