Tambov Cathedral
The Cathedral of the Saviour's Transfiguration (Спасо-Преображенский собор) is the main church of Tambov, Russia. It has been the seat of the Tambov Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church almost since its inception. The original wooden church honoring the Feast of the Transfiguration was built in 1636 — the same year when the town of Tambov was founded.

The first bishops decided to replace the wooden church with a bigger stone building patterned after a new Baroque cathedral in Ryazan. Construction works started in 1694 at the instigation of Bishop Pitirim and, due to a lack of funds, took 90 years to complete. The five-domed cathedral — the first brick church in the city — was decorated in the late Baroque style and was consecrated in 1783. The church contai ...
