Transfiguration Cathedral (official name: Russian: собор Преображения Господня всей гвардии, The Cathedral of the Lord's Transfiguration of all the Guards) is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral belonging to the Diocese of St. Petersburg. It is located on Transfiguration Square (Russian: Преображенская площадь), just off Liteyny Prospekt near the Chernyshevskaya metro station. Unlike most Russian places of worship, this archictural monument has never been closed for worship. The church has provided both Transfiguration Square and a nearby lane, which was formerly known as Church Lane, (Russian: Церковный переулок) and is now known as Radishchev Lane (Russian: переулок Радищева) with their names.
