The Szent Mihály Church is the most significant religious facility of Kolozsvár that has played a central role in the town's religious and intellectual life since the Middle Ages and has a prominent role in whole Transylvania.

It is the scene of numerous historical events: Queen Izabella abdicated the throne of Hungary within these walls.
