A WALK ON THE KREMLIN
Description:
Away from the noisy city streets, where life once boiled: government issues were solved, stone walls and cozy temples were erected - we will walk without fuss and try to see the ancient city through the eyes of a man of that time.
Pskov was born here. And grew from a small Slavic settlement into the most powerful fortress in Europe, the capital of the Pskov Vecheva Republic, one of the largest cities of medieval Russia. The Kremlin has always been the center of its political, business and cultural life.
How has the Pskov Kremlin changed over 16 centuries of its history? What is Dovmontov City and why is it compared to Pompeii? How did the Pskovites dare to build on earth the House of the Holy Trinity, described by John the Theologian in the Apocalypse? Why were foreigners banned from entering the Kremlin on pain of death? Why did Peter I destroy churches in Pskov?
And many other fascinating pages of the history of the Pskov Kremlin.
