The monument of the Bobâlna Uprising

The Diocesan Palace of the Metropolitanate of Cluj, Maramureș and Sălaj was built in 1887 as the headquarters for the State Forestry Administration during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Between 1918-1933 it was the headquarters of the Forestry Directorate, and after 1933 the building was transferred by the Romanian state to the patrimony of the Orthodox Episcopacy of Vad, Feleac and Cluj, since the Episcopal Cathedral had been built nearby.

The building is located on the eastern side of Avram Iancu Square and is made in neoclassical style with two massive towers that stand out in the architectural structure of the area, the main entrance being flanked by four doric columns that support the balcony above.
