DIALOGUE OF CULTURES 4
Bath
A town not far from Bristol, this is one of England’s most attractive cities. It contains some of the finest Roman buildings in Britain, including the famous baths which were built in 60AD. In the 18th century it became the most fashionable spa town in Britain. Today you can still see many streets of elegant terraced houses. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Edinburgh
The capital of Scotland. The centre of the city is full of historic medieval buildings, churches, palaces and museums. It is especially famous for its castle (12th century) which stands high over the city on a granite rock. It is an important university centre and a centre for the arts. The arts festival which takes place here in August is the largest in Europe.
Oxford
A city about fifty miles northwest of London. Its world-famous university was started in the 12th century – one of the first in Europe. The university has over thirty colleges, but perhaps the most famous include Merton, Balliol and University College. In the 20th century it also became England’s main centre for making cars. However, education still dominates Oxford – in fact eight percent of the population are teachers!
Stratford-on-Avon
Stratford is a market town a little to the south of Birmingham. It is most famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Every year Stratford is visited by over two million tourists.
Today it is an important cultural centre (the town is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre).

Vladimir
Vladimir, one of the medieval capitals of Russia, is situated to the east of Moscow. The oldest existing monuments are dated back to the middle of the 12th century. The city’s period of greatest importance was probably in the late 12th and early 13th century, up to the Mongol invasion. Several of Russia’s greatest architectural monuments were built in Vladimir during that time, including Assumption Cathedral and the Golden Gates, both of which are World Heritage Sites.
Yaroslavl
Yaroslavl, a town about 280 km northeast of Moscow, is believed to have been founded in 1010 by Prince Yaroslav the Wise. The 17th century was the golden age of Yaroslavl, when it became the second largest city after Moscow in Russia. It was the time when the unique Yaroslavl school of fresco painting and architecture was created. A lot of domes in churches and rich tiled walls are specific features of this school. Due to the mixture of various architectural styles presented in Yaroslavl a lot of art critics call it ‘Florence in the Russian North’.
Pereslavl Zalessky
A town about 140 km north of Moscow. It was founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky 5 years later than Moscow. The site is the birthplace of Alexander Nevsky, who was instrumental in protecting Russian cities from invaders in the 13th century. Next to the city is Plescheyevo Lake, the cradle of the Russian Fleet, where the young Peter I did his marine military exercises. In fact, one of only two surviving ships from Peter the Great’s original fleet can be seen here in the Botik Museum.

Receptionist: Here are your keys. Just take the lift on the left up to the third floor.
John: Thanks. Oh, what time does your restaurant shut? We’ll be back late after the theatre tonight.
Kate: Yes, we’re seeing Hamlet at eight o’clock.
Receptionist: Well I’m afraid our restaurant closes at nine o’clock. In other words, long before Ophelia’s death! But there’s a nice restaurant in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre itself. They serve meals after the performance.
John: Why thank you — thattasks great.

Tour Guide: And here we are in the famous library. Merton College Library was built in 1371 which makes it the oldest university library in England. Many of these books on your right date from the Middle Ages and if you look, you’ll see that many of them are still chained to the shelves. The problem of students who steal books is, I’m afraid, nothing new.
John: All these colleges are beginning to look the same to me.
Kate: John!

John: Excuse me, sir. Excuse me ...
Stranger: Yes?
John: Can you possibly tell us where the stones are? Stranger: The stones? Ah, yes, well, you’re quite close now. Just keep going on the A303 for another mile or so. You’ll see a big car park and the visitor centre on your right. You’ll have to walk a bit before you actually get to the stone circles.
John: Thank you.
Kate: Thank you.

Kate: That’s the one. Holyrood House.
Cabby: Come on! Get a move on! Look at them all! I’ve nothing against the tourists, you know what I mean, but August is just crazy. Millions of them here to see the Festival.
