    This is a very old and beautiful church, right in the center of the city. It is a bit "hidden" among other buildings so you could say it is a hidden jem. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the center since it is a 2 minute walk from the Unirii Square. Also, the Museum of the Moon is a great event they are hosting.

    The Piarist Church , also known as the Jesuit Church located at 5 Str. Universității, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, anddedicated to the Holy Trinity, was the first Roman Catholic church built in Transylvania after the ProtestantReformation, as well as the province's first Baroque church building. Among the city's more notable edifices, it served as a prototype for numerous other churches in Transylvania. On 13 March 1718, Jesuit priests began a fundraising campaign in order to build the church. Bishop GeorgiusMartonfi laid the cornerstone; the church was completed in 1724 . The church was restored in 1775, 1831, 1943, 1970 and 2005-6. The church has two clock towers, each 45 m high. There are three narrow vertical windows above theentrance, meant to help illuminate the interior. The main door is surrounded by rich ornamentation; above itthere is a bas-relief of the Trinity with the Latin inscription Honori Sanctissimae Trinitatis ("In Honour of the MostHoly Trinity"). Underneath the church building there is a crypt with 140 graves.

    Beautiful and simple catholic Church, with an interior in baroque style. The altar is very interesting in particular. Had the opportunity to visit this Church for more than one occassion. The best time to visit if you are looking for a special moment, is during the day, when sunlights enters the main chamber through its windows and lights up the entire Church.

    I haven't been inside, but the outside is beautiful. Now restoration work is underway in the area, so it’s dirty and there are fences.
