The Roman Catholic Piarist Church, originally the Jesuit Church in Cluj, is the first Catholic church built in Transylvania after the Protestant Reformation. It is also the first Baroque church building in the province. The Jesuits built it between 1718 and 1724, modeled on Austrian churches. The church formed an architectural ensemble with the Jesuit academic college, on whose site today stands the central building of the Babeș-Bolyai University. After the dissolution of the Jesuit order, the church was transferred to the Piarists. On Sundays, liturgies are held in Romanian, Hungarian, and Italian. Cultural events are also held here; classical music concerts, in particular, benefit from a special atmosphere and distinctive sound.

Unity Square (Piața Unirii) is the heart of Cluj-Napoca. At 220 by 160 metres, it is one of the largest urban squares in the country. It is dominated by a number of historic buildings such as St. Michael's Church or Banffy Palace, as well as the Matthias Corvinus Monument in its centre. There are paid parking spaces and public toilets here. The remains of Roman buildings (Vestigii romane) can be seen under a glass cover.

The Matthias Corvinus Monument (Monumentul Matia Corvin) is a bronze equestrian statue created by the Hungarian sculptor János Fadrusz and erected in 1902. It shows the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus ("the Raven"), who was born on February 23, 1443 in Cluj-Napoca. Corvinus ruled over Hungary and Croatia from 1458 until his death on April 6, 1490 in Vienna and was also (counter-)king of Bohemia from 1469 to 1490. He conquered large parts of the Habsburg hereditary lands and ruled these areas from Vienna from 1485 onwards. The monument and the inscription on the base have often caused a stir in the past; this culminated in civil war-like unrest between Hungarians and Romanians before the turn of the millennium. The diplomatic result is the current inscription in Latin: "Rex Mathias"

The landmark of Cluj-Napoca is St. Michael's Church (Biserica Sfântul Mihail) in the city center. It is considered the most important example of a three-aisled Gothic hall church in Transylvania. Its construction probably began around 1350 on the site of a former St. James's Chapel. The choir was built in the first phase. The building was originally intended to have two towers, but one remained unfinished. The completed tower on the north side, built between 1834 and 1863 in the neo-Gothic style, is 80 meters high including the cross, making it the highest church tower in Romania. Because of the nearby Cluj airport, a red light flashes at the top. The church is now used by the Roman Catholic community of Cluj. From 1566 until the Counter-Reformation in 1716, St. Michael's Church was the parish church of the Unitarian community. The reformer Franz David held his first anti-Trinitarian sermon here in 1566. At the end of the 18th century, the Unitarian community built its own church, the Unitarian Church. After it was returned to the Catholics, the church was expanded with baroque elements, such as the pulpit, which is crowned by the patron saint, Saint Michael, slaying the dragon.

The Bishop of the Diocese of Alba Iulia, Áron Márton, was President of the Romanian Bishops' Conference from 1970 until his death in 1980. Because of his opposition to the planned deportation of Romanian and Hungarian Jews during the Second World War, Márton was awarded the Israeli honorary title "Righteous Among the Nations" on December 27, 1999.

The monument to the signatories of the Memorandum for the Transylvanian Romanians was erected in 1994 on the centenary of the trial initiated against the Memorandists in 1894. The "Transylvanian Memorandum" was a petition addressed to the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Josef on 28 May 1892 by the leaders of the Romanians in Transylvania, demanding that the population have the same ethnic rights as the Hungarian population. In 1894, the signatories of the Memorandum were tried in Cluj. Most of the defendants were sentenced to prison terms, but after a few months they were pardoned by the monarch as a sign of reconciliation.
