Top 10 Churches & Cathedrals in Oradea, Transylvania
The Baroque Palace of Oradea is simply epic. Now a museum, the 18th-century building is home to an outdoor bronze and marble statue park, Transylvanian folk art and a collection of animal remains that includes dinosaur fossils. You could spend days here, but try to make some time for other Oradea attractions, such as the beautiful Art Nouveau buildings of Str. Republicii, the astronomical clock of the Biserica cu Lună, and the Băile Felix thermal spa.

The synagogue is still active, the local community is using it. In Oradea are still existing 3 synagogues, this is one of them.

Of the three synagogues I discovered in Oradea, the Orthodox Synagogue seems to me the most beautiful. The synagogue, built in an eclectic style, is part of the typology of synagogues spread at the end of the nineteenth century, with a longitudinal space of hall type structure and a women's gallery developed on three sides. The building is oriented east-west with the main facade, the western one facing the street. The main façade composed of three axes, in addition to the surfaces covered with brick is characterized by the great diversity of architectural elements, such as strong pilasters with five sides, of variable height. This time, I visited it inside and I appreciated that it has a beautiful architecture.

The Greek-Catholic cathedral also known as the Church of Saint Nicholas, located in Unirii Square, was erected in the early 1800s in a well defined, classical Baroque style. The interior Byzantine decoration and paintings are typical for distinguising the Romanian Greek-Catholic rite in the Catholic faith. and spending until 1870. After a second fire distroying most of its roof in 1907, the restoration work included the addition of a sumptuous Baroque pinnacle, still visible today.
