Romania - Sibiu - Holy Trinity Cathedral
Holy Trinity Cathedral in Sibiu, Romania.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral, Sibiu (Romanian: Catedrala Sfânta Treime din Sibiu), located at 35 Mitropoliei Street, Sibiu, Romania, is the seat of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Sibiu and Metropolitan of Transylvania. It was built in the style of a Byzantine basilica, inspired by Hagia Sophia,[1] with the main spires influenced by Transylvanian church architecture and Baroque elements.[1]
The idea of building an Orthodox cathedral in Sibiu began with Metropolitan Andrei Şaguna, who in the autumn of 1857 asked Emperor Franz Joseph I for permission to send a circular to his diocese requesting that priests and laymen give donations. He sent the letter before Christmas that year, and the first donor was the Emperor himself, who gave 1000 gold coins, followed by the governor of Transylvania with 50, Şaguna with 2000 florins, and many others. Donations continued to come in following Şaguna's death in 1873; the cornerstone was laid on 18 August 1902, when Ioan Meţianu was Metropolitan. In order to free the space to build the cathedral (which took up five lots on Mitropoliei Street and three on Xenopol Street, where it also has an entrance), eight nearby houses had to be demolished, as well as the little Greek church built in 1797-1799 that had heretofore served as a cathedral.[2][3]
Work, coordinated by city architect Iosif Schussnig, began in 1902 and was finished in 1904, when the copper roof was done. The plan, by Virgil Nagy and Iosif Kamner of Budapest, was chosen from among designs submitted by 31 mainly Austrian and Hungarian architects. On 13 December 1904, the four bells were blessed and placed in the two main spires (during World War I, the Austro-Hungarian Army melted the three bells in the western spire for use as cannons; these were not replaced until 1926).[1] The iconostasis and kliros were then manufactured at Constantin Babic's firm in Bucharest; electric lighting was also installed. The iconostasis (of gilt carved wood) and dome (showing Christ Pantocrator flanked by angels) were painted by Octavian Smigelschi, from the nearby village of Ludoș.[2]
The exterior is in red and yellow brick. The spacious nave is bordered by smaller spherical roofs and four towers: two smaller octagonal ones, and two larger ones near the entrance with a square base that becomes octagonal in the bell area. The ends of the towers are shaped like double bulbs, with a skylight in the centre. The main entrance is through a portico with three semicircular doors. Behind this and between the main towers is an ample semicircular vestibule with a similarly-shaped stained-glass window, while the outside is decorated with round mosaics showing Jesus and the Four Evangelists.[2] The cathedral is 53.10m long and 25.40m wide in the centre, the dome 24.70m high (34.70m on the exterior) and 15m in diameter, while the spires are 43m high (45m including the crosses).[1]
On 30 April 1906, Metropolitan Meţianu, joined by his suffragan bishop from Arad, Ioan Papp, and a group of priests and deacons, consecrated the cathedral. Nicolae Iorga was also present; he donated a silver engolpion and a valuable icon. Since its dedication, the cathedral has undergone a number of restorations and improvements: the walls have been decorated with neo-Byzantine paintings by Iosif Keber and Anastasie Demian, and liturgical objects, vestments, books and a sound system have all been added. Divine Liturgy and Vespers take place daily, as well as other services when provided for.

Romania Road Trip: Brasov to Busteni and the Caraiman Monastery
Transylvania is beautiful! My Romania Road Trip takes a turn into Dracula country driving through Transylvania and to the foot of the Carpathian mountains as I head south from Brasov towards Busteni. As I drive into the beautiful countryside of Transylvania I pass by Bran Castle which was the inspiration for Draculas Castle, and finally I arrive at the most amazingly beautiful mountain landscape in Busteni.
Busteni is located in the Prahova Valley, at the bottom of the Bucegi Mountains (parth of the Southern Carpathians) and is a ski destination in winter months and home to one of the most modern and beautiful Monasteries, the Caraiman Monastery which dates back only as far as 1998.
This central area of Romania is stunning, I would like to spend more time here and need to come back, put it on the bucket list....

The Trinity concept in the Neo-Romanian style
The Neo-Romanian architectural style is the expression of the politics of national identity in architecture and decorative arts. It has an entire philosophy behind it, the main tenet being the resistance of the Romanian people against the onslaught of the great power of the Ottoman Empire in the Middle Ages and the early modern era. That is expressed in decorations highlighting the Christian identity of the Romanian lands, as opposed to the Islam of the Porte. The Holy Trinity is most abundantly represented or alluded to on a Neo-Romanian architecture buildings. This video details this architectural element and how it can be spotted or figured out on buildings in Romania's national style.

Axente Sever - The fortified church, Sibiu, Romania
In Axente Sever in 14th century began the construction of a Gothic hall-church, consisting of hall, four quarters tower and choir. The massiveness of the tower between the choir and the hall leads to the conclusion that it is the oldest part of the building. A similar composition of the base we can find in Agârbiciu and Ţapu. The thickness of the wall of the tower's floor is 1.60 m being pierced by the east and west by an arc ogive.
Around the year 1490 the church is rebuilt for defense. On the east and west of the four quarters tower there were built defense floors. The counterforts of the western front are strengthened, and there was built a defense bridge for bows and battlements for pitch. The tower ends with a wooden defense bridge. The choir is also uplifted with two floors, which are equipped with battlements for rifles. Western entrance closes with a sliding grid with spikes, whose guides are still visible nowadays. The church was surrounded with a wall of defense with guard road and barns, so that in case of siege locals can shelter their families and wealth into the fortress.

SIGHISOARA : TRANSYLVANIA ROAD TRIP PART 3 | ROMANIA
SIGHISOARA : TRANSYLVANIA ROAD TRIP PART 3 | ROMANIA
Sighisoara was our third stop in our Transylvania Road Trip. It is very rich in history and has an amazing architecture. This medieval city has a very charming appeal. Not to mention that it was the birth place of the original Dracula (Vlad Tepes). Our most favorite site here is the main square (citadel) itself. People watching, eating ice cream, drinking coffee, checking out restaurants, taking lots of photos as it is so photogenic and just simply resting under the tree are few of our favorite activities here. We are 100% recommending for you guys to visit this place.
