The concept of historical monument covers not only the isolated architectural work, but also the rural or urban ensemble in which the testimony of a particular civilization, significant development or historical event, is found. Conservation and restoration of monuments must appeal to all the science and technology that can contribute to the study and protection of architectural heritage.

The Church of St. Michael will undergo a process of intense rehabilitation, enjoying a complete structural rehabilitation. Starting with the refurbishment of the building’s appearance, namely with the cleaning of more than 10,000sq m of stone, the construction for the symbol of Cluj continues with the partial change of the roof structure. Among other things, stone walls will be restored and    preserved, structural cracks injected, electrical networks and interior lighting will also be changed.

The surprise element of this complex rehabilitation process is the church tower.
