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.

Suzdal Kremlin
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
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.

Собор рождества Богородицы
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.

Spaso-Efimiev Monastery
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
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.
