Roman Catholic
Cathedral
St. Georges Cathedral, Timisoara or the Dome is
located in the midst of Timisoara, Romania, with the foundation
stone laid in 1736, and the dome constructed in the Austrian
baroque style, dedicated to Saint George, the diocese's patron
saint. The image that sits at the high altar was painted by
Michel Angelo Unterberger, the director of the fine arts academy
of Vienna, that illustrates the saint, with side altars painted
by Johann Nepomuk Schopf in 1772. The beautiful oil lamps were
created by Josef Moser, and the organ created by Leopold
Wegenstein, and the bells made in Germany in 1998.
