The National Cathedral (People's Salvation Cathedral) is the Romanian Orthodox patriarchal cathedral on Spirea's Hill in Bucharest.

As it stood in 2025
What National Cathedral looked like in its prime.
A monumental, cream-coloured stone cathedral with a very large central dome flanked by four smaller domes, each topped with a cross and gilded cupolas. The façade stacks wide rounded arches, tall arched windows and a large arched stained-glass window above the main entrance; a broad flight of steps leads to a columned portico. Long colonnaded arcades and low pavilions with gilt roofs flank the forecourt. Interior surfaces are planned to be covered in extensive mosaic decoration and a wide wooden and gilded iconostasis spans the sanctuary.
