Nativity Cathedral, Chișinău

The Cathedral of Christ's Nativity (Catedrala Mitropolitană Nașterea Domnului), the main cathedral of the Moldovan Orthodox Church in Central Chișinău. It was commissioned by the governor of New Russia, Prince Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov, and Metropolitan Gavril Bănulescu-Bodoni in 1830. The cathedral was built to a Neoclassical design by Abram Melnikov; it was bombed during the World War II, and its bell tower was destroyed by the local Communists in 1962. The new bell tower was constructed in 1997.
