Fodor's Expert Review Transfiguration Cathedral

Dnepropetrovsk's most iconic structure is arguably the city's most beautiful structure too. Although the foundation stone was laid by Catherine II way back in 1787, the cathedral itself wasn’t built until the 1830s. The ochre-hued house of worship features a tall gold-topped spire above a Greek Revival-style columned frontage and gorgeous interiors filled with intricate golden molding surrounding vivid frescoes of saints. At the rear of the church, a tall dome surrounded by windows brings light into the space.
