What awaits you
Suzdal Kremlin - the starting point of the history of the city Walking through the museum-reserve, you will hear about the beginning of the beginnings, when the first fortifications were erected on the bend of the Kamenka River. You will walk through the main events of the thousand-year history of the Kremlin, which survived raids, fires and devastation. Let's try to mentally reconstruct the perimeter of the Old City from the fragments of the fortress and defensive ramparts.

You will realize the value of the frescoes, iconostases and the golden gates of the monastery. I will tell you what are remarkable about the stars on the sky-blue domes and which historical figures are buried in the cathedral necropolis.
