Transfiguration Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Soborna Square, Odesa, Ukraine

The Transfiguration Cathedral extends 90 meters in length and 45 meters in width, featuring neoclassical architecture with brick construction and a 72-meter tower.

The cathedral's foundation stone was laid in 1795 under architect Fransisco Frappoli's design, receiving substantial funding from Empress Catherine II for its construction.

The cathedral serves as the primary Orthodox church in Odesa, hosting three Divine Liturgies each Sunday and maintaining regular worship services for the local community.

The building maintains an online broadcast system for religious services, enabling remote participation for those unable to attend physical gatherings at the cathedral.

The cathedral contains a copper cross made from coins left by Russian soldiers during the 1854 Crimean War and houses the remains of Saint Innocent.
