Saint Constantine and Elena Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Bălți, Moldova

Saint Constantine and Elena Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox church in Bălți built from brick with Byzantine Revival features. The structure displays large domes, arched windows, and decorative details across its exterior.

Construction of the cathedral began in 1924 under architects Adrian Gabrilescu and Andrei Ivanov. The building was consecrated in 1935, marking its completion as a major religious structure.

The cathedral is dedicated to Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena, revered figures in Orthodox tradition. Visitors can observe how this place shapes local religious life and brings people together during important celebrations.
