PHOTOS: Imposing Cathedral Under Construction in Bucharest

"The Salvation of the Nation" Cathedral is under construction in the Romanian capital Bucharest. It is erected near the Parliament, another iconic building in Bucharest.

It will have 120 meters long, 70 meters wide and 120 meters high, with up to the 5,000 people capacity.

A patriarhal counsellor told the journalists in Bucharest that the new deadline for the construction is 2017. After that, the cathedral will be painted.

According to him, without the paint and the fine finishing, the cost for the construction will be 100 mil. euros.
