It was replaced by a larger church in 1630 and this gave way to the stone edifice in 1690. Inside the frescos depict the events of Dmitri's death. The five-domed Transfiguration Cathedral is the largest structure on the kremlin grounds. Nothing remains of the medieval wooden kremlin walls. The palace built by Andri Bolshoi, Ivan III's brother replaced the kremlin in 1480.
Today there is an interesting museum in the palace.
Among the items is the bell from the Transfiguration Cathedral that rung the news of Dmitri's death. In 1892, after strenuous campaigning, the people of Uglich managed to get their bell back from Tobolsk. The largest building in the monastery is the Voskresenski Cathedral and there are also other churches and a bell tower and refectory. Much older is the Alekseyevski Monastery founded by Metropolitan Aleksei at the behest of Dmitri Donskoi in 1371 as a fortification to protect the city. It is a fine example of 16th century Russian architecture.
