Saint Elias Greek Catholic Cathedral

Saint Elias Cathedral was achieved in the middle of the 19th century. It was a remarkable place due to its Byzantine architecture and beautiful oriental decoration.

The Gothic arcs that were built at this time gave it a great vivacity. The celestial oculi made it shine so brightly and displayed a sumptuous interior decoration.

The cathedral was restored by the Archdiocese in 1994, after the damages caused by the war. The restoration works began at the end of 2003 and ended in may 2006.
