The Orthodox Cathedral, dedicated to the "Ascension of the Lord" (Catedrala "Înălțarea Domnului"), is the largest religious building in Târgu Mureș. It was built between 1925 and 1934 according to the plans of the Timișoara architect Victor Vlad in the shape of a Greek cross. The cathedral was consecrated on December 2, 1934. On the walls of the narthex are images of the 17th-century Metropolitan Saints of Transylvania, Ilie Iorest and Sava Brancovici, framed by twelve medallions depicting Transylvania's most important Orthodox churches. The central dome features a stained-glass window depicting Christ blessing the Virgin. The altar features a twelve-meter-high mosaic depicting the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child.
