The Kremlin of Pereslavl-Zalessky is a no-longer-extant fortress of the ancient Russian town of Pereslavl-Zalessky. At present the territory of the kremlin, surrounded by a well-preserved ring rampart, is the central historic part of the town. Since 2019 the Pereslavl Kremlin, together with the Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Saviour preserved within it (1152–1157), erected at the town's foundation by Yuri Dolgorukiy, has been on the tentative list of candidate objects for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage.
