Piarist Church, Cluj, Roman Catholic church in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.

The Piarist Church features twin towers rising 45 meters high, with three narrow vertical windows illuminating the central entrance section.

Construction started in March 1718 through Jesuit fundraising, and upon completion in 1724, Bishop Joannes Antalfi consecrated the building the following year.

The church walls display devotional plaques in Romanian, Hungarian, German, and Latin, reflecting the multicultural character of Transylvania through centuries.

Located at 5 Universității Street in central Cluj-Napoca, the church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The church houses an altar with a Virgin Mary icon that reportedly shed tears for two weeks in 1699, alongside statues from Vienna.
