Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
Bucharest's Roman Catholic metropolitan cathedral preserves bodily relics of Blessed Vladimir Ghika, the priest and martyr who died after abuse in Jilava prison. The cathedral is the principal Catholic place of public veneration, distinct from the Ghika family grave at Bellu Cemetery.
