Yaroslavl millennial
Description:
Walking tour "Yaroslavl millennial"
I invite you to a leisurely walk through ancient Yaroslavl. You will hear the most interesting facts of its thousand-year history, feel the flavor of ancient squares, boulevards and alleys. On the tour you will see the fortress towers and walls of the Transfiguration Monastery, walk along the most beautiful Volga embankment and see Strelka - the confluence of the Kotorosl River into the Volga. Against the background of Zarechny Slobodies, I will tell about Yaroslav the Wise, who founded the city, and the archaeological finds of the XXI century, shedding light on the events of the invasion of Batu.
You will learn when and why Yaroslavl was the capital of the state and for what reason the XVII century became "golden" for our city. I will tell you about the “little Medici of Yaroslavl” – the people who created and glorified it.
