Transfiguration Cathedral

The Transfiguration Cathedral was built mainly in the early 19th century and restored as faithfully as possible in the 1970s. The church was planned as the main church of the newly conquered Novorossiya region after the 5th Russian-Turkish war (1768-1774) and was to surpass even St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The cathedral was built in the style of classicism between 1830 and 1835. During the Second World War, the building suffered considerable damage and was only restored in 1975.
