It's the city's landmark building. Of neo-Byzantine and neo-Romanesque inspiration, the Orthodox cathedral was built between 1936 and 1946 and can accommodate 5,000 standing worshippers. Its monumental appearance is impressive: 63 m long, 35 m wide, 80 m high. The ochre and yellow of the brick and the green and gold of the tiles form an elegant color combination. Its bells, each weighing 8 tonnes, were cast from rare metals from Sumatra and Borneo. Inside, the icons are superb. Some are on display in a basement museum.

Très belle, mais nous n'avons pas pu la visiter malheureusement. Sa toiture est cependant remarquable.

Au bout de la place de la Victoire, face au théâtre national, cette magnifique cathédrale orthodoxe s'impose avec à ses pieds un espace de verdure. monument imposant avec de très belles décorations aussi bien extérieures qu'à l'intérieur.
