Suzdal Kremlin

Description

The Suzdal Kremlin is the oldest part of the Russian city of Suzdal, dating from the 10th century. Like other Russian Kremlins, it was originally a fortress or citadel and was the religious and administrative center of the city. It is most notably the site of the Cathedral of the Nativity.

Together with several structures in the neighboring city of Vladimir, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992.

History

While archeological evidence suggests that the Suzdal Kremlin was settled as early as the 10th century, the fortress itself was built in the late 11th or early 12th century. The fortress was strategically located on a bend of the Kamenka river on three sides and a moat to the east. It was surrounded by earthen ramparts that remain to the present day. A settlement (posad Russian: посад) to the east became home the secular population - shopkeepers and craftsmen, while the Kremlin proper was the home of the prince, the archbishop, and the high clergy.

From the 13th to the 16th centuries, several monasteries and churches were constructed, including the Cathedral of the Nativity, the Convent of the Intercession, and the Monastery of Our Saviour and St. Euthymius.

Nice place. Partial immersion in the story. Quiet, beautiful, unusual. Good for a walk after everyday city life. The entire walk will take a couple of hours, everything is close and compact.

Aleksandr

Osho said that in the churches you can feel the hand of the neurosis of man (architecture, decoration), therefore, God has to be heard rather in the beauty of nature. As you can understand, I think that a visit to Suzdal' would change its mind. Here everything makes me think that the very hand of God it is fun to lay on the rivers untouched these colored towers, a bit like pawns on a chessboard (to feel Alberto Angela), in perfect harmony. For his glory

Suzdal Kremlin
The Kremlin str., Suzdal, Vladimir region, Russia, 601293
It was here, on the territory of the Suzdal Kremlin is the oldest Church of the city - the Nativity of the virgin, of white stone, carved with domes with the stars - very beautiful. Energy is amazing - calm and peace, a desire just silently admire this beauty. The Cathedral, incidentally, included in the UNESCO list!
ADVICE - Friends, walk around the Cathedral from all sides, you will see a very interesting old walls.
TIP - lift up your head and pay special attention to the Cathedral's bell tower - the bell tower of the rarest valid (!!!) watch chimes (XVII) with Slavic (!)dial ADVICE - pay attention to the wooden Church - the Church of St. Nicholas, about 1766, it is also within Kremlevka walls

I advise you to look at this place. In this old man felt more strongly than in the rest of the Suzdal - a sort of spirit of the Russian middle Ages. It is also important, as it is the oldest part of the city can take a guided tour or somewhere to read the story if you are interested in important historical places.

A must see! Is of great historical value. Not all the exhibits were available, unfortunately, at the time of our visit. A very beautiful view.

Konstantin
