Місто Золотоноша - великий промисловий центр в 30 клометрах на північ від Черкас.

Поселення Золотон (Золотоноша) на царгородському торговому шляху відомо з XVI сторіччя, хоча могло існувати ще в княжі часи. Розташоване на березі річки Золотоношка (її дно вкрите шаром слюди, тому має золотистий відтінок), однак з назвою пов'язані й різні легенди про козацькі та татарські золоті скарби.

На карті французького інженера Боплана в XVII столітті позначено як укріплене місто. З 1625 року - сотенне місто, Золотоноська сотня брала участь у Визвольній війні та в Полтавській битві. З 1781 року Золотоноша - центр повіту, потім райцентр.

Holy Dormition Cathedral

Temple , Architecture

The majestic Holy Dormition Cathedral in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God was built in Zolotonosha at the beginning of the 20th century, but its history begins with a wooden church built in the 18th century.

A hundred years later, the temple burned down, and in 1845 a stone cathedral was built on its place, but it also burned down 60 years later. The new cathedral became one of the largest temple buildings in central Ukraine.

In 1937, the Dormition Cathedral was closed, and the baths were removed from it.

Now it is a functioning church of the Orthodox Church.
