Transfiguration Cathedral (1)

Saviour Monastery of St. Euthymius (named after its first abbot) was erected in 1352. A small temple over the tomb of Euthymios (1564) eventually became the current Transfiguration Cathedral. The whole of the cathedral interior is covered with frescoes from 17th cecntury painters Gury Nikitin and Sila Savin, depicting stories of Jesus and the saints.

 

You can see from the scaffolding that the frescoes were under repair.
