Church of the Transfiguration of Our Saviour on Ilyina street is one of the most ancient and respected temples in Novgorod. The famous icon «Our Lady of the Sign» was kept here, according to the legend. In 1374 a new stone church was erected to replace a wooden one, and the Archbishop himself consecrated it. The church presents a typical example of Novgorodian construction style of the 14th c. It is quite spacey inside, with its height dominating over its width, and is covered with rich decorations with carvings on the outside.
