Route SoundtrackIn 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.

Собор рождества Богородицы
Church
Open Details
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.

Spaso-Efimiev Monastery
Historic Site
Open Details
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.

Shchudrovskaya tent
Historic Site
Open Details
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.
