Romanian Orthodox cathedral, built after the union of Transylvania with Romania, between 1925 and 1934, in a neo-Byzantine style.
The Ascension of the Lord Cathedral is a Romanian Orthodox cathedral in Târgu Mureș, Romania. It was built between 1925 and 1934 on the initiative of Archpriest Ștefan Rusu. The cathedral was to replace a pre-existing 18th century wooden church on the site that had become too small for the parish. As the seat of an archpriest and not a bishop, it is a church and not technically a cathedral, but is commonly referred to as such.

Biserica Sfântul Ioan Botezătorul
Baroque Roman Catholic church, completed in 1764 during the Habsburg rule.
The main plaza (Trandafirilor Square) and nearby streets have many Art Nouveau (Hungarian Secession) style buildings.
It was built in the 17th century as a protection for the citizens in times of war. In the 19th century the Habsburgs converted it to a military fort. It is now a place for relaxation, with events and exhibitions. The main Calvinist church of the city is within the fortress.
