Cathedral of the Nativity of John the Baptist in Arad

The Cathedral of the Nativity of John the Baptist exhibits late Baroque architecture with two slender towers and a western facade containing decorative mosaics.

Construction of the cathedral took place between 1862 and 1865 under Bishop Procopie Ivascovici, with financial support from the Mocsonyi family and Viennese banker Georg Sina.

The interior walls feature artificial marble decorations, traditional Orthodox iconography, and simple colored glass windows that illuminate the religious artworks.

Located at Piața Catedralei 1 in Arad, the cathedral remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architectural elements.

The cathedral houses a historical bell from 1764, which was preserved from the previous church that stood near the Mureș River before its demolition.
