Cathedral Saint Basil the Great, Greek Catholic cathedral in Bucharest, Romania.
The cathedral on Polona Street features traditional Romanian religious architecture with a main dome, two smaller towers, and rectangular windows with arched frames.
Built in 1909 under Archbishop Raymund Netzhammer's supervision, the cathedral marked the first Greek Catholic church construction in Bucharest.
The cathedral represents the Romanian Church United with Rome, combining Eastern Christian traditions with recognition of papal authority.
Regular religious services take place at the cathedral, with the main celebration occurring on January 1st, the feast day of Saint Basil.
The cathedral underwent a 14-year legal process before returning to Greek Catholic ownership in 2006 after being confiscated during the communist period.
