Sfânta Treime Romanian Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral
The interior of the Sfânta Treime Romanian Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral
The Archdiocese of Făgăraş and Alba Iulia, (Latin: Archidioecesis Fagarasiensis et Albae Iuliensis Romenorum) in Romanian Arhieparhia de Făgăraş şi Alba Iulia, is the only archdiocese of the Romanian Church United with Rome (Romanian Greek-Catholic Church). Its Metropolitan, who holds the rank of Major Archbishop (one of only four such posts in the world), is the head (in rank just below a Patriarch) of the whole Greek-Catholic Church of Romania, where all other dioceses (Cluj–Gherla, Lugoj, Maramureş, Oradea Mare) are his suffragans; only the diocese in America, the Eparchy of St. George is exempt. The Eparchy of St. George does take part in the Synod.
Its cathedral is the Holy Trinity Greek-Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral (Catedrala Mitropolitană Greco-Catolică Sfânta Treime) in Blaj.
On May 18, 1721, it was established as the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Făgăraş (Latin: Archidioecesis Fagarasiensis Romenorum). On November 16, 1854, it was renamed Metropolitan Archdiocese of Făgăraş and Alba Iulia (Fagarasien(sis) et Albae Iulien(sis) Romenorum in Latin). On December 16, 2005 it was promoted to Major Archdiocese of Făgăraş and Alba Iulia.
