was seriously changed. The earth ramparts, which adjoined the Gate were removed; buttresses surrounded by circular bastions were added to four corners of the old tower to reinforce it; the gateway church was built in
brick and reconstructed in 1810; the platform around the church was turned into
a covered gallery.

Extremely rare monument of the old-russian fortification. It was built in white
stone in 1158-1164 by prince Andrei Bogolyubsky of Vladimir and was the main
entrance and defensive tower of the new fortress, the assault of the mongol-tartar
army and was not covered with shame at that.

The Golden Gate

white-stone architecture of Vladimir and Suzdal. The church was built in 1158-1160 by prince Andrei Bogolyubsky as a principle church of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality. The cathedral stands on a high hill over the Klyazma river. Four domes together with a central one form a five-domed roof, that determined a model of the orthodox church for a long time.

The architectural complex of the Assumption Cathedral includes a bell-tower and St.George church.

The cathedral was restored in the 19-20-th centuries. At a moment the Assumption cathedral is used by both the Vladimir-Suzdal museum and the Russian Orthodox Church. It is on the World Heritage List of UNESCO.

Prince Vsevolod III, is one of the most graceful and beautiful churches in Vladimir. It is like an icon in stone. Beauty and mystery are inseparably united in it, making the Cathedral of St. Demetrius unique among Vladimir's churches.

The first mystery of this cathedral involves its "birth." None of the chronicles mention exactly when this royal church was built. However, so it is assumed that it there are many reports that in 1197 the icon of St. Demetrius of Salonica was brought here from Byzantium was around this date that the cathedral was constructed.

most poetic structures of Ancient Russia is
the church of the Intercession, situated in the flooded
meadows at the confluence of the Nerl and Klyazma
rivers. The shape of the church is graceful and
silhouette is elegant.

The reliefs - female masks, the frieze and the figure
of King David in the center – form the idea of the
Intercession of the Virgin. As the part of the Bogolyubovo convent it is being
used both by the museum and the church.

Prince Vladimir the Red Sun

Russian mythical hero. Ilya Muromets is considered one of the greatest medieval knights of all times, who was respected for the values he stood for. Alyosha Popovich and Dobrynya Nikitich are two other legendary Russian knights that have been closely associated with Ilya Muromets.

Ilya Muromets

farmer, was born in the village of Karacharovo, near Murom. He suffered serious illness in his youth and was unable to walk until the age of 33, when he was miraculously healed by two pilgrims. He was then given super-human strength by a dying knight,Svyatogor, and set out to liberate the city of Kiev from Idolishche to serve Prince Vladimir the Fair Sun (Vladimir Krasnoye Solnyshko). Along the way he single-handedly defended the city of Chernigov from invasion by the Tatars and was offered knighthood by the local ruler, but Ilya declined to stay. In the forests of Bryansk he then killed the forest-dwelling monster Solovey-Razboynik.

In Kiev, Ilya was made chief bogatyr by Prince Vladimir and he defended Rus from numerous attacks by the steppe people, including Kalin, the (mythical) tsar of Golden Horde. Generous and simple-minded but also temperamental, Ilya once went on a rampage and destroyed all the church steeples in Kiev after Prince Vladimir had failed to invite him to a celebration. He was soon appeased when Vladimir sent for him.

The only epic hero canonized
by the Russian Orthodox Church.

The saint remains of the powerful Russian bogatyr Ilya Muromets are supposedly stored in the catacombs of Kiev - Pecherski Monastery.
