Monument to Alexander Nevsky
Description:
In Pereslavl there is a wonderful place, or rather a monument to the great Russian commander A. Nevsky.
The commander was born in this city. It happened in the distant 1220 in the princely chambers, projectively this very place on today's Red Square of Pereslavl. The child was baptized into Christianity in the Transfiguration Cathedral.
At the age of 21, the young prince, having assembled a squad, went from this place to fight the Livonians. That is why the place of the monument is so symbolic.
However, the monument appeared in Pereslavl only in the late 50s.
Tourists passing along the Golden Ring and pilgrims who come to the numerous temples and monasteries of the city do not ignore this symbolic monument.
Pereslavl can be reached by intercity transport from the central bus station in Moscow or by train to Sergiev Posad, then also by bus.
