Transfiguration Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Tambov, Russia.
The Transfiguration Cathedral is an Orthodox church in Tambov featuring five domes crowning its brick structure. A reconstructed bell tower rises prominently above the structure, providing a strong vertical accent to the overall composition.
Construction began in 1694 under episcopal direction and took several decades to complete due to limited resources. The bell tower was destroyed in the early 20th century but was later restored according to original designs.
The cathedral serves as a place of worship where Orthodox believers gather for regular services and spiritual practice. The building itself holds religious artworks and sacred remains that reflect the spiritual life of the local community.
The cathedral is located at Sobornaya Square in the city center and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should dress respectfully and observe church customs when entering during services or visiting the interior.
The bell tower vanished for more than eight decades before being painstakingly reconstructed according to historical records. This restoration shows how places can recover elements lost to past upheaval.
