The Roman-Catholic St. MichaelÆs Cathedral is one of the most remarkable religious edifices of Transylvania. It was built in the German Gothic style between the 14th and the 15th centuries. The 80-metre-tall tower was erected in the 19th century. Superb medieval fresco work has been preserved inside. In front of the cathedral there stands the statue of King Matthias Corvinus, the work of sculptor Ioan Fadrusz in 1902. It was awarded the first prize at the International Exhibition in Paris.
