Metropolitan Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Iași, Romania
The Metropolitan Cathedral features four detached towers and stands as one of the tallest historical buildings in Moldavia, measuring 56.70 meters in length.
Construction began in 1833 under Metropolitan Veniamin Costache, faced structural issues in 1839, and underwent restoration before final consecration in 1887.
The cathedral houses the relics of Saint Parascheva, which were transferred from Trei Ierarhi Monastery in 1889, making it a center for pilgrimage.
Located at 16 Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt Boulevard, the cathedral includes a museum in its basement dedicated to the history of Moldavia and Bukovina.
The interior displays paintings by Gheorghe Tatarescu that incorporate Italian neoclassicism influences within the Renaissance Revival architectural framework.
