    The new church with the temple of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul is dedicated to the "Solemnity of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos" of the Orthodox Church, which roughly corresponds to the Roman Catholic feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It was built during the term of office of the Bishop of Alba-Iulia, Emilian Birdaș, and opened in 1992. The church, which is worth seeing, is also called the "Cathedral of the Apuseni Mountains".
