Church of the Transfiguration
Church of the Transfiguration, Neoclassical cathedral in Torzhok, Russia
The Transfiguration Cathedral features five blue domes, Doric porticos, and stands prominently along the Tvertsa River in the city center.
Italian architect Carlo Rossi designed this Orthodox cathedral in 1822, replacing a previous religious structure that dated back to 1364.
The cathedral represents a fusion of Russian Orthodox traditions with neoclassical architecture elements common during the Russian Empire period.
The cathedral building remains closed to visitors during ongoing renovations, though the exterior remains visible from multiple vantage points.
Each of the five domes features a different shade of blue paint, creating a graduated color effect visible across the Torzhok skyline.
