About the church:
Biserica Piaristă in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, was founded by the Piarist Order in the early 18th century, with construction beginning around 1718. This Baroque church, consecrated in 1724, served both as a place of worship and as a cultural center, housing educational institutions established by the Piarists. The church was founded by the Piarist Order, also known as the Order of Poor Clerics Regular of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools, a Catholic religious institute founded in 1597. The Piarists were dedicated to education and were renowned for their contributions to schooling.
