Two ancient cities of Russia are waiting for you: Aleksandrov and Yuriev Polsky.
In the XVI century, Aleksandrov was the actual capital of the state: Ivan the Terrible lived here, from here he led campaigns against Tver and Novgorod, and tortured numerous prisoners in the dungeons.
Yuriev Polsky is worth a visit for those interested in pre-Mongolian Russian architecture and history.

Historical Cities of Ancient Russia
Three different cities and 300 kilometres of road await you. The first point of the route is Alexandrov, where everything is connected with Ivan the Terrible. Then your way will lie to Yuriev Polsky, an amazingly preserved small town, which was captured by False Dmitry in the XII century, and in the XVIII century the settlement was completely burned by Poles.
And finally, finish your journey in Pereslavl-Zalessky, breathing history - one of the original cities of the Golden Ring of Russia, where almost all ancient buildings have been preserved.

The Alexandrovskaya Sloboda is one of the oldest suburban residences of the Grand Dukes of Moscow and the first residence of the Tsar. Foreign ambassadors from European countries and the Crimean Khanate came here, and the Tsar's bridal shows were held here.
In the Alexander sloboda is also worth seeing Raspyatskaya bell tower, towering above all the buildings of the complex.
In Sloboda there are also many temples - Trinity Cathedral, Intercession Church, and the Tsar's Chambers.
It is possible to take a small excursion in the Kremlin to listen to stories connected with Ivan the Terrible.
