Greek Catholic Archdiocese of Făgăraş and Alba Iulia

The Greek Catholic Archdiocese headquarters spans across multiple buildings in Blaj, with administrative offices at Aron Petru Pavel Street 1-2.

Established in 1721 as the Eparchy of Făgăraș, the institution received its status as metropolitan archeparchy in 1854 through ecclesiastical restructuring.

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Blaj serves as the central place of worship for the Romanian Greek Catholic community following Byzantine traditions.

The archdiocese maintains jurisdiction over five suffragan dioceses, coordinating religious activities for approximately 196,195 Catholics in the region.

Cardinal Lucian Mureșan leads this major archbishopric, which represents the highest administrative authority within the Romanian Greek Catholic Church.
