Transfiguration of the Saviour Church on the Ravine

Transfiguration of the Saviour Church on the Ravine (November 2011)

One of the most beautiful churches in Ryazan is the Transfiguration of the Saviour Church. In Russian it is additionally known as the Saviour on the Ravine 'Spas na Yaru' as it stands on the edge of the ravine where the River Trubezh flows into the River Oka. It was built in 1695 and its most beautiful features are its peach colouring and its five decorated domes: one central golden dome and four surrounding silver domes. The structure also incorporates a bell tower. The church was closed in 1935 and used as a military school. It was eventually reopened and restored in 1995.
