How to Spend a Weekend near Moscow
The autumn in the European part of Russia can bring a few sunny days, which are well worth spending in the country. These are some places with easy reach of Moscow.
a) Rostov Veliky is one of the oldest towns in Russia. It is more than 1100 years old. By the 13th century it had become the capital of one of the most prominent Russian principalities. Rostov’s kremlin was originally built as Patriarch’s residence, hence it looks more like a palace than a military fortification. Inside there are churches, Uspensky Cathedral and a remarkable bell-tower with 13 bells the largest of which weighs 32 tonnes. Part of the kremlin has been converted into a hotel. Rostov has a number of museums — archaeological, arts and crafts and a museum of medieval icons.
b) Dubrovitsy is a village located 5 km from the town of Podolsk. It once was a home of Princes Golitsyns’ dynasty. In 1690 Golitsyn invited Italian architects to build the area’s main attraction — Znamenskaya Church — the masterpiece in the Italian Baroque style. This church was unusual for Russia. There were too many ornaments and sculptures in it. At first it was rejected by church officials for being so unconventional. Only by the order of Peter the Great and in his presence, it was eventually consecrated.
c) Yasnaya Polyana used to be Leo Tolstoy’s estate near the town of Tula which is the same age as Moscow and has its own kremlin. The town is famous for samovars, pryaniki and armour. Tula’s armoury museum is the oldest in Russia. Tolstoy’s house in Yasnaya Polyana has retained all the original furniture and interior in such a state as they were in 1910, when the famous writer passed away. The estate has the biggest apple tree orchard in Europe.
d) Vereya is a kind of gateway to Moscow. It is located just 99 km to the southwest. The town was founded in 1371 and three centuries later became one of the largest towns of Moscow Province. It has lost its glory and now has only 5,000 permanent residents and six churches. Owing to the surrounding picturesque landscape, Vereya is often called “The Suburban Switzerland”. The town’s history is closely connected with Napoleon’s invasion. This is where General Dorokhov’s army attacked the sleeping French and the first Russian victory in the war was won without a single shot.
