St. Teodora de la Sihla Church, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in central Chișinău, Moldova
The St. Teodora de la Sihla Church displays Byzantine Revival architecture with brick walls and slender towers topped by high pyramidal structures.
Architect Alexander Bernardazzi completed the construction in 1895 as a chapel for a girls' gymnasium, though its consecration occurred 27 years later in 1922.
The cathedral functions as the main religious center for the Metropolis of Bessarabia, combining Russian and Ottoman architectural influences in its design.
Located at coordinates 47.020861, 28.830406, the cathedral maintains regular Eastern Orthodox services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.
The church structure includes an elevated basement that connected directly to the former gymnasium, reflecting its original educational institution purpose.
