Cathedral of Saint Demetrius, Craiova, Orthodox cathedral in Craiova, Romania
The Saint Demetrius Cathedral features Byzantine Revival architecture with detailed interior paintings by French artists and a meticulously crafted wooden iconostasis.
Archaeological findings from 1888 indicate religious structures on this site dating back to the 8th century, preceding the current building's construction.
The cathedral contains sacred relics of Saint Niphon of Constantinople, Saints Sergius and Bacchus, and Saint Tatiana of Rome.
Located at 14 Matei Basarab Street, the cathedral welcomes visitors without entrance fees and serves as the main religious center of Oltenia.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction between 1889 and 1893 under architect André Lecomte du Noüy, following severe earthquake damage in 1838.
