Church with Moon 2 - Oradea #179643720
Description
The Church with the Moon, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption, is a Christian-Orthodox church located in Oradea, built between 1784-1790. It was so named due to a unique mechanism in Europe, located on the church tower, which is meant to set in motion a sphere with a diameter of 1 m, the shape of the moon, painted half black, half gold. This sphere moves after the rotational motion of the Moon around the Earth and shows, by its rotation, all the phases of the Moon.
