Coronation Cathedral, Alba Iulia, Orthodox cathedral in Alba Iulia, Romania.
The Coronation Cathedral exhibits Byzantine architecture with three octagonal spires, onion domes, and a central dome featuring Christ Pantocrator above marble columns.
The cathedral's consecration in 1922 preceded the coronation ceremony of King Ferdinand and Queen Maria, marking Romania's unification as a single nation.
The narthex contains four marble plates commemorating Romanian milestones, including the printing of the New Testament in 1648 and historical events of Alba Iulia.
The cathedral opens daily for religious services and tourist visits, offering guided tours through its historical chambers and architectural elements.
The coronation ceremony took place in the cathedral's courtyard because King Ferdinand, being Catholic, chose not to receive his crown under Orthodox authority.
