The Romanian Orthodox Patriarchal Cathedral (also known as the Metropolitan Church) is a functioning religious and civic landmark, on Dealul Mitropoliei, in Bucharest, Romania. It is located near the Palace of the Chamber of Deputies of the Patriarchate of the Romanian Orthodox Church. Since it is a working cathedral, it is the site of many religious holidays and observances that take place for those who follow the Orthodox Christian faith in Bucharest, including a Palm Sunday pilgrimage. The Orthodox Divine Liturgy at the cathedral is known for its a cappella choir, a common practice shared by all the Orthodox churches, in both their prayer services and liturgical rites.

Founded in 1559, it’s considered the oldest church in Bucharest. It’s been in the great fire of 1847 and restored in later years. Very lovely stone and facade and beautiful interior makes a pleasant visit if you are in old town. Near the church there are also the remains of one of the Vlad’s palaces (the sight was under construction when we visited). See more..
