Perched atop Mitropoliei hill in central Bucharest, the Patriarchal Cathedral, also known as the Metropolitan Church, stands as the city’s principal Orthodox place of worship and a significant historical landmark. Consecrated in 1658, the cathedral is a replica of the Curtea de Arges Monastery in Pitesti and is dedicated to Saints Constantine and Helen. Visitors can explore its richly decorated interior and experience the spiritual significance it holds for the local community.
