Transfiguration Cathedral, Cathedral in Uglich, Russia.

The Transfiguration Cathedral features five solid domes and displays Naryshkin Baroque architecture with decorative window casings and white-stone portal entrance.

Built in 1713 on the site of a previous church dedicated to Constantine and Elena, the cathedral stands as part of the former prince's palace complex.

The interior walls, painted between 1809 and 1811 by Medvedev workmen, include reproductions of Italian masters and scenes from the life of Christ.

The cathedral contains a spacious quadrangular hall with a 14-meter bay, constructed without supporting pillars, demonstrating advanced engineering techniques of its time.

The cathedral's bell tower, added in 1730, stands where a historic bell once announced the death of Tsarevich Dmitry before being exiled to Siberia.
