Summary/Abstract: The palace or metropolitan residence house from the Diocesan Centre of Iaşi was built in the early 20th century, from its foundations, on the site of an older residential house, during the term of Metropolitan Partenie Clinceni service as a shepherd of the local flock of Christian believers. Documents that have survived the passage of time highlight the generous project and the meandering trajectory of the efforts to construct and open a new building, the analysis being susceptibile to demonstrate that the ultimate goal was to refurbish, modernise andembelish the entire architectural complex from the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Iasi. The historical circumstances also highlight the important role of the Church in organising and running significant events forthe community in that period.
