Transfiguration of the Saviour Church in the City

Transfiguration of the Saviour Church in the City (September 2011)

The Transfiguration of the Saviour Church is often referred to as the Saviour in the City (Spas-na-Gorody) to distinguish it from the Transfiguration of the Saviour Cathedral located in the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery. It was built in 1672 using St John Chrysostom’s Church at Korovniki as a guide. In form it is very similar with a four-tiered building topped with five green domes and with a tower and a bell tower on each side. However, unlike St John Chrysostom’s Church, this church has been covered in plaster and painted white.
