Transfiguration Cathedral in Spaso-Yevfimiyev Monastery

The Transfiguration Cathedral features white stone walls divided by pilasters with kokoshnik gables and decorated with an arcaded belt typical of Vladimir-Suzdal architecture.

Built in the 16th century on the site of a burned wooden church, the cathedral underwent modifications in the 18th century with the addition of a gallery around its walls.

The interior walls display remarkable 17th-century frescoes created by a team of artists under the direction of Guriy Nikitin, representing biblical narratives and saints.

The cathedral remains open for religious services and tours throughout the week, offering visitors the opportunity to explore both its architectural features and spiritual significance.

The cathedral forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site 'White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal' and maintains its original structural elements from medieval times.
