Church of the Transfiguration of Our Lord
Tallinn's Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration began life in the 13th century as the main church of the Cistercian nuns' convent of St Michael. In 1732 it was rebuilt as an Orthodox church, and its interior was remodelled again in 1827–1830. Its treasures include a baroque iconostasis finished in 1719 and installed in 1732, the oldest church bell in Tallinn, cast by Matthias Beninck in 1575, and memorials to the martyred Bishop Platon, one of them by sculptor Amandus Adamson.

Tallinna Issanda Muutmise peakirik sai alguse 13. sajandil tsistertslaste Mihkli nunnakloostri peakirikuna. 1732. aastal ehitati see ümber õigeusu kirikuks ja interjööri muudeti taas aastatel 1827–1830. Kiriku aarete hulka kuuluvad 1719. aastal valminud ja 1732. aastal paigaldatud barokne ikonostaas, Tallinna vanim kirikukell, mille valas Matthias Beninck 1575. aastal, ning märtrisurma surnud piiskop Platoni mälestusmärgid, millest ühe tegi skulptor Amandus Adamson.
