The Dormition of the Theotokos Cathedral in Cluj-Napoca is the city's most prominent Romanian Orthodox church, built in 1923 by architects Constantin Pomponiu and George Cristinel. Constructed of brick in a Romanian Brâncovenesc style—a synthesis of Renaissance and Byzantine architecture—it stands on Avram Iancu Square alongside the National Theatre and a statue of Avram Iancu. The cathedral serves as the seat of the Metropolitan of Cluj, Alba, Crișana and Maramureș and is dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos.
