Moscow
and St. Russian villages beyond St. Petersburg
1.-
Sergiyev Posad
Sergiyev
Posad is one of the most fascinating places in the Russian Gold Ring. A belt of
extraordinarily beautiful towns in the northeast of Moscow. Given its location,
Moscow and St. Petersburg is the perfect place to start our tour of the Russian
villages. Everything here is the holiest place of the Russian Orthodox Church,
the magnificent St. It revolves around the Sergius monastery. Dozens of
churches, oratory and rooms in the village create a hallucinogenic visit where
every roof fights to be the most colorful. Among them, the Cathedral of the
Assumption and the tombs of the tsars of the Godunov family are the most
prominent.
2.-Sviyazhsk
 |
| sviyazhsk |
Sviyazhsk is located in a lagoon of the Volga River. This natural settlement adds a lot to its beauty, but it is not its only attraction. After its restoration and restitution as a religious building, you can visit a monastery, which is in use today and where monks live. Only the historic center of the city survived the creation of Kuibyshev's water reserve, as it is located at the highest point on the edge of an imposing cliff.
3.-Uglich
As
you wander its streets and sky, dozens of buildings typical of the most
historic Russian architecture stand out. Yes, this is Moscow and St.
Petersburg, and its buildings have nothing to envy the buildings of both
cities. Look out for the churches of San Demetrio, San Teodoro, or the Mother
of God. Try to find the domes of the cathedral at the end of this highly
recommended walk.
4.-Shlisselburg
 |
st.
Petersburg is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset on the shore of Lake
Ladoga. This trench, located on an island, was one of the most sought-after
squares in the conflicts of this region. The most outstanding residential area
is the Ladoga canal and the impressive granite floodgates.
5.-Pereslavl-Zalessky
 |
| pereslavl zalessky |
If
we had to enumerate all the features and monuments of this town, you would
think we were talking about a capital city. But Pereslavl-Zalessky, Moscow and
St. It is one of our Russian villages beyond St. Petersburg. The village bases
its charm on disproportion; majestic buildings randomly combine with
fishermen's quarters who still go fishing on their boats on Lake Pleshcheyevo.
Don't miss the Cathedral, the Goritsky Monastery or the Troitse-Danilov
Monastery.
6.-Kolomenskoye
If
there is a forced escape from Moscow you must make, it is the escape to the
former residence of the tsars. This group is more of a museum than a town,
where every building is preserved. It is essential to devote a good time to the
original Church of the Ascension, which is the model for the rest of the
temples with a pyramidal structure. Then comes the constant walking along its
paths, among other finds such as the Church of the Virgin of Kazan, the gates
of the complex, or the impressive wooden palace of Alexei I, the last preserved
in this style.
7.-Velik
of Rostov
The
epicenter of the Rostov Kremlin is a kingdom ruled by the impressive bell tower
of the Assumption Cathedral, whose bells weigh 32 tons each. It is not
surprising, therefore, that the role of the Church was key to its consolidation
and splendor. The fault was in a metropolitan bishop named Iona Sysóyevich. He
decided to create a dream city. He built his own palace and built streets and
buildings that look like decorations today. Perhaps this is Moscow and St. It
is one of the best examples of the wonderful Russian villages beyond St.
Petersburg.
8.-Mishkin
Myshkin
is one of the ports that justifies any cruise on the Volga River. The town
still lives in the 19th century. Here you will find extraordinary sights such
as the cathedral or the Mouse Museum, a kind of homage to the animal for which
the city is named.
9.-Suzdal
You
will see a full collection of temples in Suzdal. In fact, a third of its
buildings are consecrated. The hypnotic blue domes of the Cathedral of the
Nativity of Our Lady receive the highest praise. Don't forget the ancient
walls.
10.-Ivangorod
This
village has always been marked by its location on the Estonian border. Today
its battlements and towers are the epitome of its charm. Facing the castle of
the Estonian Narva, these walls are its main monument and now house a
magnificent museum.
