The Chapel of the Transfiguration[1] or the Chapel of the Transfiguration of the Lord,[2] is a religious building that is part of the Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See in the city of Ashkhabad, the capital of the Asian country of Turkmenistan.

After the destruction by the Communist authorities during the time of the Soviet Union in Turkmenistan of all Catholic churches in the town, the activities of the Catholic Church in that nation were very limited or officially prohibited.

The building fell into ruins and remained standing until 1932, when local authorities ordered it to be destroyed, in the era of religious persecution in the Soviet Union.

[3] After the fall of communism in the 1990s efforts were made to get approval from local authorities for reopening the places of Catholic worship.

As part of these efforts, the nunciature managed to open a chapel that is the center of Meeting of Catholics in that city, until you can build a church outside the protection provided by the Vatican nunciature, or embassy in Turkmenistan.
