At the beginning of the 1990s, the construction of the Orthodox Cathedral "Ascension of the Lord" was started, located in the center of Bacău, being the head of perspective for the two main arteries of the city, respectively N. Bălcescu Blvd. and Mihai Viteazu Street. The construction has a total length of 67 m, a width of 37 m and a maximum height of 63 m at the base of the cross on the main tower. The surface of the construction on the ground is about 950 sqm.

From a planimetric point of view, the building was conformed respecting exactly the succession of the specific spaces of the Orthodox churches in Romania.

The narthex, with 2 main accesses on the north and south sides, develops on several levels, being crowned by a starry dome of Stefanian inspiration.

Above the nave, through a system of successive arches and domes, specific to Byzantine architecture, rises the dome of the pantocrator that crowns the monumental space of the cathedral.

The interior architecture of the building combines the Byzantine tradition of the vaulted space, with the need to ascend to divinity specific to the towers of the pantocrator from the Romanian Orthodox churches.

The exterior volume takes over the proportions of the Moldavian churches from the Middle Ages, being converted due to its size and time into a contemporary architecture, which combines tradition with many modern elements.
