St Nicholas Cathedral

Chernivtsi's cathedral is nicknamed the 'drunken church', because of the four twisted turrets surrounding its cupola – painted blue with golden stars, these turrets create an optical illusion. The cathedral is a 1930s copy of a 14th-century royal church in Curtea de Arges (Romania).
