Спасо-Преображенський собор споруджено в Кропивницькому в стилі класицизму як головний православний храм міста після ліквідації Троїцької церкви, яка знаходилася на території скасованої фортеці Святої Єлисавети.

В радянський час собор був закритий владою як культова споруда. В 1965 році в його приміщенні відкрили міську картинну галерею, що зберегло його від руйнації. З проголошенням незалежності України храм відновив богослужіння. Наразі належить громаді УПЦ московського патріархату.

В Преображенському соборі зберігаються часточки мощей святих Києво-Печерської лаври, а також Миколи Чудотворця. На території собору встановлено пам'ятник на честь 2000-ліття Різдва Христова, збудовано нову дзвіницю в неокласичному стилі.
