Also known as the Chrysosotiros church, the Cathedral of the Holy Transfiguration of the Saviour is a church in Larnaca, Cyprus.

It is located at the Plateia Mitropoleos.

(At the church gate there is a nameplate, where the first word of its Greek name is, ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΟΣ.)

Placement relative to the necropolis of Kition

"The necropolis [outside the city walls of the city-kingdom of Kition] extends from the Ayios Prodromos and the area of Ayios Ioannis "Pervolia" and "Mnimata" (Northern Necropolis) to Ayios Georghios Kontos and the Chrysosotiros church (Soteros quarter), (Western Necropolis)."

It "is the most extensively investigated burial ground on the island of Cyprus".
