2022-05-18 09h54 Targu Mures: Catedrala ortodoxa Buna Vestire

The Annunciation Church, known by locals as the small Cathedral (for the distinction of the Orthodox Cathedral on the opposite side of Market Rose) was built between 1926-1936 according to the model's Basilica St. Peter's in Rome. The church was sanctified on 8 September 1936 by the Greek-Catholic metropolitan Alexandru Nicolescu of the Archbishop of Fagaras and Alba Iulia.

In 1948, after the prohibition of the Romanian Church United with Rome, the Communist authorities installed in the Church a parish of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
