For many years, an imposing religious building has been under construction in the city center, which will belong to the Greek Catholic Church of Romania. The cathedral on Cipariu Square (Catedrala Greco-Catolică a Martirilor și Mărturisitorilor Secolului 20) is dedicated to the martyrs and confessors of the faith of the 20th century, in memory of those who sacrificed themselves for their faith, including the great hierarchs Iuliu Hossu, Alexandru Russu, Valeriu Traian Frențiu, and Ioan Bălan. Construction of the cathedral began in 1993 and was interrupted in 2000 due to a lack of funds and project changes. Regarding the dimensions and architectural details, the residents of Cluj must still wait for the construction to be completed. The plans approved in the building permit are impressive, even though they have been revised downwards: 72 meters high (originally 98) and with 1,500 seats (originally 2,500). The building is designed to have five floors, and the three towers to eight. It is unknown when construction will resume.
