The "Archiepiscopal Cathedral of St. Andrew" in Galați is an important place of worship and a symbol of the city of Galați and the Romanian Orthodox Church. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Andrew the Apostle, the spiritual patron of Romania.
The cathedral was built in a Neo-Byzantine architectural style with traditional Romanian influences. Construction began in 2007, and the cathedral was consecrated in 2012 by the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
The "St. Andrew" Cathedral stands out due to its impressive dimensions: it has a height of approximately 60 meters and can accommodate a large number of worshipers inside.
The cathedral's façade is adorned with mosaics depicting scenes from the life of Saint Andrew, as well as from the history of Christianity and Romania. These mosaics are crafted with great attention to detail and vibrant colors.
A distinctive feature of the cathedral is its tall bell tower, which houses multiple bells of varying sizes. The sound of the bells during services contributes to the spiritual atmosphere of the cathedral.
