The Golden Ring
The Golden Ring is a route that includes eight Russian cities to the north-cast of Moscow. The eight cities are: Sergiev Posad. Suzdal. Vladimir. Rostov Velikiy. Pereslavl-Zalesskiy. Yaroslavl. Kostroma and Ivanovo. These cities arc part of the history of Russia. In fact, it was in this region, towards the end of the 9’ century, that the first Slav tribes began to settle. Over the next few centuries many of the towers, gates, monasteries, churches and cathedrals that make these towns famous were built. The cities attracted builders and artists from as far away as Western Europe and these eight towns became the spiritual home of the Russian Orthodox Church. When you visit these towns it is almost like travelling back in time and many people talk of the towns as being like open-air museums.
Vladimir
There is some argument as to the date when this city was founded, but traditionally the date given is 1108. The city was built during the reign of Vladimir Monomakh. who was the grand prince of Kiev Rus.? Under his grandson. Andrei Bogolyubsky. the city began what became a Golden Age. It was during this period that the Golden Gates and the famous Cathedral of Assumption were built. Unfortunately for the city, this Golden Age lasted less than a hundred years until the Mongol invasion and in 1238 fire destroyed a lot of the city. Vladimir never recovered its former power or status, but even today it has some of the jewels of Russian architecture, and the Golden Gates and the cathedral arc both on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Suzdal
The city of Suzdal was founded on the banks of the river Kamenka in 1024. almost one hundred years before Vladimir. During the reign of Yuri Dolgorukiy. a son of Vladimir Monomakh (1099-1157). the city became the center of power in the Vladimir-Suzdal principality. Dolgorukiy was the founder of Moscow and he is buried in the Cathedral of the Nativity, which is one of eight White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1992.
Nowadays Suzdal is an important place for tourism with its fine examples of old Russian architecture. It is particularly famous for the number of churches and monasteries, and with the unpaved streets, stunning medieval architecture and country setting it often feels like you are in an old Russian village.
Sergiev Posad
Originally a very small village, it grew bigger in the 15task" century around one of the most important monasteries in all of Russia. The Trinity Lavra was founded in 1345 by St Sergius of Radonczh. one of the greatest figures in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church. Over the next four centuries more buildings were added, including the Assumption
