The Transfiguration Cathedral (Romanian: Catedrala Schimbarea la Faţă, Hungarian: Kolozsvári minorita templom), also known as the Minorites' Church (Biserica Minoriţilor), was donated in 1924 by the Holy See to the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church to serve as the Cathedral of the Cluj-Gherla Eparchy, after the move of the Eparchy's center from Gherla to Cluj.
