Photographer's Note

The Serb Orthodox Episcopal palace is one of the most beautiful buildings in Timişoara. The building's ground stone was put in 1745, during the time of the Serb bishop from Timişoara, Gheorghe Popovici. Initially, the building was simple, unobtrusive, built in Byzantian style.It was embellished much later with the rich bas-relief, which can still be admired today. Above the port can be seen the emblem of the Serb Orthodox bishopric from Timişoara. The palace has been and is a real centre of faith and of the Orthodox culture.
