Transfiguration Cathedral, Pereslavl-Zalessky

The Transfiguration Cathedral in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia, was begun in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky and completed in 1157 by his son Andrei Bogolyubsky. A simple single-domed church of white limestone, it is one of the oldest surviving buildings in north-eastern Russia and an early example of the white-stone architecture of Vladimir-Suzdal.
