Serpukhov is a cozy old city in the Moscow region on the banks of the Nara River, whose history goes back centuries. Merchants’ life, monastic domes and narrow historical streets create a special atmosphere; there are ancient and provincial charm, and each house and square keep the memory of the past.
Man-made sights of Serpukhov amaze with diversity: the slender bell tower of Ivanova Hill, the Trinity Cathedral on the Cathedral Hill, the Cathedral of Nikola Bely, Ilinskaya, Sretenskaya and Uspenskaya churches, Vvedensky and Vysotsky monasteries. The city has preserved interesting monuments - the Liberator Warrior, the monument to Vladimir the Brave, the Black Tulip and the monument to Chekhov - as well as architectural ensembles and estates Vozdvizhenskoye, Turovo, Vasilievskoye, Podmoklovo and Pushchino, telling about noble and merchant traditions. Optional, but notable objects are the water tower, the Spartak stadium, the Serpukhov port and the central streets of Voroshilov, Soviet and Chernyshevsky.
