catedrala greco-catolica
by oradea_dream
Autorii planurilor de constructie ale catedralei greco-catolice sint necunoscuti. Inca se mai fac cercetarii pentru a se descoperii faptasii. (risete) Catedrala a fost construita in stil baroc clasicizant. Episcopul Samuil Vulcan a fost cel care a finalizat constructia in anul 1810. Colac peste pupaza, in 19-21 iunie 1836, biserica este afectata si ea de incendiul care a pustiit Oradea. Ca si cum nu ar fi avut de ajuns de suferit, in timpul lucrarilor de reparatie efectuate in anul 1907, (anul rascoalei taranesti) ia foc clopotnita, arzind cu aceasta ocazie tot scheletul de lemn al turlei. Arhitectul Rimanoczy Kalman este cel caruia ii este incredintata restaurarea turlei.
Demne de vazut sint cele 41 de icoane ale iconostasului dispuse in 6 registre.

Moon church
by Mique
The mechanics in the tower of the moon church set in motion the sphere that is half black, half yellow so it represents the moon phases. It was build in 1793 by clockmaker Georg Rueppe and still works.I wasn't sure whether it would shift each day a little bit but since i now pass the clock regularly i 've found that it does indeed change every day slightly.
Apparently every once in a while an old man goes up to oil the mechanisme and do other maintenance work. But he has no one who wants to follow in his footsteps. So if things continue like this, the clock will eventually stop working. And it is the last remianing working moon clock in the world
Black eagle palace arcade
by Mique
This arcade is definitely a must see. The glasswork is amasing and you'll see where the building got its name.
There are also many small shops situated in this arcade. But they're the expensive kind so i saw hardly anybody actually shopping. The arcade was amasingly quite for a thursday.. It made me wonder if people actually shopped there at all
The fortress of Oradea
by Mique
Last year when i was here the fortress was not open for visitors. Well, you still can't really go inside but at the moment the place is done up as a tourist attraction. There are even signs indicating the way to the place. Yep, Oradea is dusting off big time.
The fortress is very intresting even though you can't really go inside. Part of the building is used for the school of arts and this you can best see in the court yard where many sculptures are on display. Another part of the building has recently fallen in. Not sure whether that part was also in use by the school. Most parts still have a very neglected look but work is done to make it look less forlorn. But there are little plaques that tell you what you're looking at so it tells a bit more of its story.
One can climb the earth wall and look around over a part of Oradea and of course the fortress. A huge play ground for kids of all ages...
