Saint Constantine and Elena Cathedral
Saint Constantine and Elena Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Bălți, Moldova
The cathedral features brick construction with Byzantine Revival architectural elements, including grand domed structures, arched windows, and ornamental details throughout its exterior walls.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1924 under architects Adrian Gabrilescu and Andrei Ivanov, with the consecration ceremony taking place in 1935 attended by Patriarch Miron of Romania.
The cathedral honors Emperor Constantine and his mother Helena, central figures in Orthodox Christianity who ended the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire.
Located in central Bălți, the cathedral maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors, with women required to cover their heads when entering the building.
During the Soviet period, this religious structure served as a municipal museum, yet preserved its architectural integrity until returning to its original purpose in the 1990s.
