    In 1967, art historian of the newspaper "Soviet Culture" accidentally created the now famous all over Russia tourist route "Golden Ring". It consists of eight cities of the Vladimir region, which are closed in the ring on the map. Hence the name.
    Today we offer you to visit two oldest cities: Suzdal and Ivanovo, which can be confidently called cities-museums.

    In this trip we will plunge into the history of Ancient Russia: visit painted cathedrals and temples, look into the Chamber of the Cross, see the Kremlin.

    Suzdal Kremlin

    Historic Site
    Open Details
    In the Middle Ages, the Kremlin was the heart of the city, with temples and administrative buildings outside its walls. The fortress wall underwent numerous changes, as fires often occurred in the Kremlin. So you will see hollows in the wall, where there used to be towers or other structures.
    Entrance fee: full ticket - 400 rubles, discount ticket - 250 rubles.

    Chamber of the Cross

    Historic Site

    Or in another way "Bishop's Chambers" - the room where the decrees of the Tsar and the Archbishop were announced, the chapels were considered and ceremonies for the guests of honor were held.
    The chamber is also striking in its size - 330 sq.m. and the height of the vault is 9 m. without a single pillar.

    Church

    Built back in the times of Vladimir Monomakh, the cathedral was built three times in the same place. In the north-east of the country at that time it was the only white stone cathedral.
    Translated by

    The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Theotokos in Suzdal, Russia, is a World Heritage Site. It is one of the eight White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal and one of the most complex monuments of Russian medieval architecture. It was originally constructed during the reign of Vladimir II Monomakh in the late 11th century. The Cathedral of the Nativity is surrounded by a ring of earthen walls in an oxbow of Kamenka River. It is notable for being the first city cathedral not built for the exclusive use of the knyaz or his relatives. The cathedral contains the remains of a son of Yuri Dolgoruki, knyazes of the Shuisky family and others.

    The long history of the monastery, which began in 1352, is overshadowed by the three-century location of the prison within its walls.
    At first, crazy wells were enclosed here, after the politicization, and during the war the monastery turned into a camp for prisoners of war.

    Historic Site

    This small house looks like a symbol of the city of Ivanovo, as it was built long before the foundation of the current administrative center of Ivanovo. For a long time there was a quarrying manufactory within these walls. The construction has no analogues either in Ivanovo or other regions.
