Giovanni Battista Ricca, an Italian architect who lived from 1691 to 1757, designed the Cathedral Basilica of St. Mary in Oradea. After Ricca died, Franz Anton Hillebrandt, a Viennese architect, completed construction. The building went up between 1752 and 1780, which means Ricca died in 1757, well before it was finished. The infobox lists the same founding period of 1752 to 1780.
The article describes a Baroque church decorated in the Baroque style with decorations from Austria. It stands at 2 Șirul Canonicilor Street in Oradea, Romania, and is the cathedral church of the Latin Diocese of Oradea Mare, under the Roman Catholic Church.
The page gives the building both its Romanian and Hungarian names. Beyond its architects, dates and Baroque decoration, the article offers few further details.
