The Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral on Avram Iancu Square was built between 1923 and 1933, immediately after the unification of Transylvania with Romania. It is one of the city's most important religious buildings. The church is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1973, when the eparchial see of Cluj was elevated to the rank of an archdiocese, the church became the archiepiscopal cathedral. Since 2006, the building has served as the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Vad, Feleac, and Cluj, which is also the seat of the Metropolitans of Cluj, Maramureș, and Sălaj. It is currently the third-highest cathedral in Romania after the Evangelical Cathedral of Sibiu and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Timișoara.

This church of Orthodox Christians was inaugurated in 1933 in the presence of King Carol II. It was designed by the Romanian architects Constantin Pomponiu and George Cristinel. The building has a height of 64 m, of which 40 m are attributable to the imposing dome. The church houses a valuable collection of religious works of art, including a series of icons from the 17th to the 19th centuries.

In the immediate vicinity of the cathedral - on the eastern side of Avram Iancu Square - the Orthodox Archdiocese of Vad, Feleac and Cluj and the orthodox Theology School are located. It is the most important Orthodox church in the city. It was built between 1923 and 1933 and is located in Avram Iancu Square in front of the statue of the leader.
