The first Romanian church built inside the city of Cluj was Bob Greek Catholic Church. It was built with the tacit consent of the local authorities, being initially declared a “food store”, as the Romanian community did not have the right to build in the city.
The name with which it has remained in the history of the city is that of the united bishop Ioan Bob, the one who financially supported the purchase of the property and the construction of the church. The building preserves the elements specific to the Baroque style, the project belonging to the architect Iosif Leadear who supervised the works during 1800 -1803. The first Romanian school in Cluj was founded in the 19th century, and the church became one of the important landmarks in the life of the Romanian community. In 1948 it passed into the patrimony of the Romanian Orthodox Church, after 1990 it was returned to the Romanian Church United with Rome.
