The Piarist Church, initially known as the Jesuit Church in Cluj, respectively as the University Church, located on University Street no. 5, dedicated to the "Holy Trinity", is the first Catholic church built in Transylvania after the Protestant Reformation, at the same time the first ecclesiastical edifice in Baroque style in the former Habsburg province. The church was an architectural ensemble with the Jesuit academic college, on the site of which the central building of the "Babeș-Bolyai" University is located today. The place of worship presents a strong contrast between a monumental and sober architecture on the outside, and a well-ornamented, almost exuberant interior, a jewel of the Baroque style. In front of the church there was, until 1959, the statue of the Virgin Mary, a monument moved by the communist authorities behind the "St. Peter" Church in Cluj.
