Church of Transfiguration, Eastern Orthodox church in Old Town, Lviv, Ukraine.

The Church of Transfiguration exhibits Baroque Revival architecture with a central dome and two towers adorned with intricate decorative elements on its brick facade.

Originally constructed between 1703 and 1731 as a Roman Catholic church, the building underwent reconstruction after artillery damage during the 1848 Spring of Nations.

The church interior features artwork by multiple artists, including an iconostasis created by Tadeusz Popiel and stained glass windows depicting Ruthenian saints.

Located at the intersection of Krakivska Street and Lesi Ukrainky Street, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

This religious building marked a significant transition in 1989 as the first parish to restore operations following the decline of the Soviet Union.
