In an atmosphere full of emotion and spiritual significance, the installation of the Holy Cross on the main dome of the National Cathedral marks an important step in the completion of one of the most impressive religious buildings in Romania.
With a height of over 100 meters, the main spire dominates the landscape of the Capital, and the cross mounted on top becomes a visible symbol of the Orthodox faith and national unity.
