A visit to the great Metropolitan Cathedral on Piata Victoriei allows travellers to step inside one of Romanias most impressive Orthodox churches, its lofty interior richly decorated with frescoes, icons and a treasury of religious art in the crypt. Free to enter, with a ticketed museum of religious art below, the cathedral offers both spiritual and historical interest, including its role sheltering protesters in 1989. It is a moving and essential stop in the heart of Timisoara.
