In the footsteps of Alexander Nevsky

The route was prepared by the museum-reserve in the year of memory of the great Russian commander and ruler - Prince Alexander Yaroslavovich Nevsky.

From the Golden Gate, under the arch of which Alexander Nevsky solemnly entered the city, we pass through the once aristocratic part of our city on Georgievskaya Street. Here once stood princely residences. In the main Vladimir church - the Assumption Cathedral - the prince was in service, here is stored a particle of his relics. The majestic Dmitrievsky Cathedral, built by his grandfather, served as the house church of Vladimir princes. The tour ends on the territory of the current Theotokos-Christmas Monastery, where the prince was buried in 1263.

The tour also includes a visit to the first floor of the Historical Museum, touches on the Old Russian period and introduces objects directly related to Alexander Nevsky.
