Pskov architectural masterpieces included in the UNESCO List

I invite you to an author’s tour of ten temples of Pskov, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019! These are the temples of the XII-VI centuries, representing the stages of the birth, development and flowering of the Pskov school of church architecture. In two of them preserved ensembles of fresco paintings. This is the Transfiguration Cathedral, where frescoes of the XII century were preserved by 87%, and the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin of the Snetogorsk Monastery, where the preservation of frescoes of the XIV century reaches 60%!

We will admire the restrained beauty and harmony of ancient temples, capture the style unity and define the unique features of each building. You will see how the monuments of antiquity and rare beauty of the landscape complement each other, making the city open and cozy. We will talk about historical events, the urban environment of temples, the way of thinking and the aesthetic code of their creators. We will discuss the impact of Pskov architecture on the development of architecture outside the Pskov land and abroad and much more!
