The first cathedral built after the Great Union in 1918 was the Coronation Cathedral which was constructed in 1921-1922 and is a synthesis of many Romanian architectural and traditional decorative elements. It was built for a specific purpose: to be the place of coronation of King Ferdinand and Queen Mary as kings of all Romanians and Romania reunited after World War. In 1948, the gate marked the integration of the clergy and of the Christians of the United Romanian Church under the Romanian Orthodox Church. The cathedral became a symbol of the Romanian history and culture.The Coronation Cathedral (Romanian: Catedrala Încoronării), dedicated to the Holy Trinity and the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel was erected following the plans of the architect Victor tefănescu and with the support of the ȘRomanian Royal House. The church has a byzantine architecture.The entrance is made by means of a closed stoop designed with large arches sustained upon 4 columns ending in capitals. There are marble commemorative plates placed inside the stoop’s side alcoves. These are representations of the New Testament’s printing ordered by the metropolitan bishop Simion tefan in 1648, as well as scenes from the 1600 ȘUnion under Mihai Viteazu, Horea, Clo ca and Cri an’s martyrdom and the spiritual union of the Romanian people.ș șThe oak altarpiece, furniture and stand are decorated according to the so called „Brâncoveanu” tradition.King Ferdinand and Queen Mary’s coronation ceremony took place inside the cathedral’s yard. The coronation didn’t take place inside the church, king Ferdinand being a catholic didn’t agree with a Romanian orthodox metropolitan bishop laying the crown on his head. Therefore, he crowned himself. He was the one to place the crown on the queen’s head as well.The church’s name was turned into the „Romanian Orthodox Reunification Cathedral” in 1948. Ceremonia de încoronare a Regelui Ferdinand şi a Reginei Maria ca suverani ai României Maria avut loc în faţa clopotniţei, unde a fost amenajată o scenă îmbrăcată în pânză roşie, pe care era înălţat baldachinul încoronării, întreţesut cu brocart roşu şi galben pe un fond alb. Încoronarea nu s-a făcut în catedrală deoarece Ferdinand, care era de religie catolică, nu a dorit să fie încoronat de un membru al Bisericii Ortodoxe. Astfel, Ferdinand şi-a aşezat singur pe cap Coroana de Oţel, după care a pus coroana de aur pe capul soţei sale îngenunchiate
