Catedrala 鈥欌�橲fanta Fecioara Maria Regina鈥欌�� (Our Lady Queen Cathedral), Iasi
The Saint Mary Cathedral of Iasi is a Catholic temple first built in 1753 entirely of wood to replace the old church that stood in this place before. In 1782-1789 it was rebuilt in bricks. Following the 1802 earthquake and then the fire of 1827, the building underwent further changes, followed by renovations of 1861, seeing extensions made and the interior repainted by Italian artist Giuseppe Carta from Palermo. Also, during that time, white marble altars and via crucis icons were installed. Today, the cathedral represents a modern-looking church of circular design with a central tower culminating in a cross.
