The Church of St. John Chrysostom &#8211; its foundation &#8211; is not accidentally considered one of the main monuments of ancient <a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/en\/where-to-relax-in-russia-in-november-2021-inexpensively-20-best-destinations\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">Russia<\/a>n architecture. It embodied the dream of its creators about striving for perfection and harmony. The beauty of nature and the impeccability of architectural forms are combined here with special strength.<\/p>\n<p>The temple was built in the middle of the 17th century at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl at the expense of wealthy townspeople &#8211; Fedor and Ivan Nezhdanovsky (here, in the southern gallery of the church, are their graves). The five-domed temple with two hipped limits, wide galleries encircle high porches.<\/p>\n<p>The uniqueness of the church lies in its decoration, or rather its absence: thanks to the skillful red brick masonry, the temple looks very elegant even without special murals and decorative details.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of the century, window frames were decorated with carvings, and painted tiles appeared in the masonry. Inside, the church was painted only in the 18th century by the famous artel of Alexei Soplyakov. At the same time, a five-tiered iconostasis was installed here &#8211; a true masterpiece of world painting.<\/p>\n<p>Today the temple is run by the Old Believer Church. Services are held here and restoration work is underway.<\/p>\n<h2>Church of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183b402a96.avif\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183b402a96.avif\" alt=\"What to see in Yaroslavl in 1 day on your own - route, photo, description, map\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the 17th century, a wooden chapel stood at the <a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/en\/yaroslavl-in-november-2021-what-to-see-holidays-weather-reviews-prices\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">Yaroslavl<\/a> &#8220;Bozhedomka&#8221; (a cemetery where vagrants, drowned people and unknown wanderers were buried).<\/p>\n<p>In its place in the 70s, it was decided to erect a stone temple. Funds for this were allocated by the wealthy merchant Semyon Afanasyevich Luzin. The builders of the temple decided to build it with three tent domes, despite the ban of Patriarch Nikon on the construction of tent churches that was in force at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this, the temple becomes the final element of the most important period in the history of ancient Russian art. As befits a cemetery church, it has strict forms and laconic exterior and interior decoration.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the 18th century, all bozhedomkas were abolished everywhere, and a residential quarter gradually grew here. The cemetery was moved across the river, in its place in the 19th century the Vlasevsky Garden was laid out, and a bell tower was attached to the church.

And both historically and geographically. Here, at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl, the first settlements appeared already in the 9th century. And after 100 years, in 1010, Yaroslav the Wise sailed along the Volga.<\/p>\n<p>According to legend, here he killed a bear with a spear, the tip of which exactly repeats the outlines of the coast. It was then that the prince decided to found a city here. The first temple and the old Kremlin, the so-called Chopped City, was placed on the arrow, repeating the shape of the cape.<\/p>\n<p>In honor of the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl, a monument was erected on Strelka &#8211; a 20-meter stele with a double-headed eagle, at the base of which are sculptures of Yaroslav the Wise, Yaroslavna, priests, chroniclers and warriors who defended these lands, bas-reliefs on the pedestal also illustrate the brightest events in the history of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Strelka is a favorite place for citizens and <a href=\"\/recomendet-getyourguide_com-product\" class=\"sds-arl\">tour<\/a>ists.

In the middle of the 17th century, a huge fire broke out in Yaroslavl. He destroyed a lot of residential buildings, 3 monasteries and almost 30 churches.<\/p>\n<p>After the fire, the townspeople quickly rebuilt their hometown. To replace the burned-out wooden church, the residents of Tolchkova Sloboda decided to build a new one. They built the whole world: people brought money, valuable ancient icons, gold and silver jewelry and ingots, someone worked at the construction site for free.<\/p>\n<p>Two brick factories were even opened for the construction of the temple. Due to the difficult architectural solution, the construction was delayed for 16 years.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after its consecration and throughout its history, the temple was known for its patronage and charitable deeds. From the first days, there was an almshouse at the church, and in the 19th century there were parish guardianship and a school, later transformed into a women's school.<\/p>\n<p>There was a shelter for girls, there was a sewing workshop and a laundry, a circle was organized where the workers of the Big Manufactory were taught to read and write. After the revolution, the church building housed warehouses, a forge and a canteen. And only the intervention of Glavnauki saved the temple from complete destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Now it is under the protection of UNESCO, scientific and restoration work is being carried out here.<\/p>\n<h2>Church of St. Michael the Archangel<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183b7aeef4.avif\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183b7aeef4.avif\" alt=\"What to see in Yaroslavl in 1 day on your own - route, photo, description, map\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Back in 1215, on the banks of the Kotorosl, Prince Konstantin ordered that a wooden church be erected in memory of the soldiers who fell for the Russian land. The temple was consecrated in honor of the patron saint of all service people &#8211; Michael the Archangel. The church stood for almost 400 years, and only in the 17th century a stone church began to be built in its place. Construction went on for 25 years, the money for which was collected by the people.<\/p>\n<p>This explains the mixing of medieval architectural style with later architectural traditions &#8211; large windows, high drums. The peculiarity of the church is an unusual house-like porch.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the temple was painted by the artist Fedor Fedorov. During the Soviet years, the church was closed. It was restored only for the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl.

Here, on the banks of the river, which served as the border of the Chopped City, there were trading rows, and life was always in full swing.<\/p>\n<p>The wooden Church of the Savior has stood here since the 13th century. During the fire of 1658, it burned down. The city by this time had already recovered from the devastation of the Polish-Lithuanian conquerors, and it was decided to restore it after the fire.<\/p>\n<p>Wealthy citizens, mostly merchants, allocated money for the construction of a new temple in the City. Just like the burnt one, it received the name of the Savior on the City. The light and discreet five-domed temple is made in the classical style for the 17th century &#8211; without a basement, on pillars, with cross-domed domes.<\/p>\n<p>The inside of the temple was painted by well-known Yaroslavl masters, who were part of the artel of Lavrenty Sevostyanov and Fyodor Fedorov.

At this place once stood a wooden St. Nicholas Church.<\/p>\n<p>The new church, with its belfry tent soaring upwards, struck with the surprising proportion of all the main parts of the structure: a laconic quadrangle covered the vault, and five domes rest on high graceful drums.<\/p>\n<p>The temple was badly damaged during the civil war and later, in the Soviet years, remained completely ownerless.

The first stone temple in the history of Yaroslavl was ordered to be erected in 1215 by Prince Konstantin of Yaroslavl, the son of Vsevolod the Big Nest.<\/p>\n<p>It was decided to build a temple dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary right in the prince's court, on Strelka. How it looked can now be judged only by archaeological finds. The church survived the invasion of the hordes of Batu and recovered after it in its former splendor, but did not survive the fire of the 16th century.<\/p>\n<p>Restoring the temple was long and difficult. First, they put a low church on the basement. It was in it that in the Time of Troubles, Prince Dmitry Pozharsky received his blessing to gather the people's militia.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the next century, the temple was rebuilt, and over the following centuries it was rebuilt and improved. A bell tower was attached to it, the domes were gilded, a five-tiered iconostasis with ancient sacred icons was installed inside.<\/p>\n<p>The relics of the holy Yaroslavl princes Konstantin and Vasily were kept in the temple. It was the main cathedral of the diocese. After the revolution, crosses were removed from the cathedral, and a granary was arranged inside. All valuables were removed from it. And on August 26, 1937, the temple was blown up.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, a decision was made to restore the cathedral. It was built for 6 years and consecrated right for the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl. The relics of princes and ancient icons were returned here.

During the famous fire of 1658, all the buildings of the wooden citadel burned down. Then it was decided to build a stone Kremlin on this site.<\/p>\n<p>Passage towers were erected on the sides of both rivers &#8211; Zeleynaya (Powder) near Kotorosl and Podvolzhskaya from the side of the Volga, from which an arsenal was later built.

Its height is 32 m, and the main part was built in the 16th century. There used to be a temple in the lower tier. In the middle of the 19th century, it was re-consecrated in honor of the icon of Our Lady of the Caves.<\/p>\n<p>The belfry underwent reconstruction for almost the entire first half of the 19th century. Then a new Gothic tier appeared with three cupolas crowned with pyramids with golden balls with stars, which are popularly called either hedgehogs, or burdocks, or a child's sun.<\/p>\n<p>In 1824, a rotunda with a clock was installed on the roof of the belfry, which was removed from the Holy Gates of the monastery. When the reconstruction was completed, bells were specially cast for the belfry in order to create a new ensemble, with a more powerful and harmonious sound.<\/p>\n<p>After the revolution, in the 1920s, most of the bells were removed and destroyed. Only in 1991 the former ensemble was restored with great difficulty. The belfry is practically the only observation deck in Yaroslavl.

Fires often occurred here, and the city sometimes burned down almost to the ground and was rebuilt. In the 17th century, it was decided to build a new stone city. In the new citadel and Earthen City, 16 defensive towers were erected, of which 4 also served as gates.<\/p>\n<p>All borders were monitored from here, a border garrison was kept here, which was able to repulse uninvited guests. One of these towers, Vlasyevskaya, or Znamenskaya (named after the miraculous icon &#8220;The Sign&#8221; inscribed in its wall), has survived to this day. It used to be the main gate to the city. The tower has the shape of a square and rises to 4 tiers.<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom there were gates with lowered gratings, and on the upper tiers there were narrow windows-loopholes, from where the defenders of the city fought. The top of the tower is decorated with teeth in the shape of a dovetail. In the second half of the 17th century, a church was added to the tower, and a century later, a bank building.<\/p>\n<p>It has been preserved to this day. Now the Faculty of Economics of Yaroslavl University is located here, and the whole building belongs to the university.

There was not a single apartment in the house that the NKVD officers did not pay a visit to, all the first tenants of the house were repressed, and many of them were shot. The house enjoys a bad reputation even now.<\/p>\n<p>It is said that strange sounds, voices and groans are often heard here in the evenings, and ghosts can be found on the stairs.

In 1680, the inside of the temple was painted by an artel of Kostroma icon painters headed by Sila Savin and Gury Nikitin.<\/p>\n<p>The icons that are stored in the Ilyinsky Church are the subject of research by many art historians. The iconostasis is decorated with icons painted by Fyodor Zubov himself. All the frescoes have retained the brightness of the colors so far, they convey an unusually bright and joyful mood. In the 1920s, the temple was <a href=\"\/recomendet-kiwitaxi-product\" class=\"sds-arl\">transfer<\/a>red to the jurisdiction of the Yaroslavl City <a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/en\/museum-reserve-tsarskoye-selo\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">Museum<\/a>, it was given the status of a monument.<\/p>\n<p>It was the selfless work of the museum staff, their many years of confrontation with the authorities that helped save the temple and all its decoration from plunder in the 30s. Before the war, the Museum of Anti-Religious Propaganda was located here for some time, but later it was closed.<\/p>\n<p>Now services are held in the temple on major <a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/en\/anapa-in-december-2021-what-to-see-holidays-weather-reviews-prices\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">holidays<\/a>, and the rest of the time it works as a branch of the Yaroslavl Museum.<\/p>\n<h2>Church of the Nativity<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183c4522b2.avif\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183c4522b2.avif\" alt=\"What to see in Yaroslavl in 1 day on your own - route, photo, description, map\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A wooden Nativity Church has long stood on the banks of the Volga. During the Time of Troubles, the townspeople hid in it the miraculous icon of the Kazan Mother of God. Money for the construction of the stone church was allocated by merchants &#8211; the brothers Gury and Ankidin (Druzhina) Nazaryev &#8211; members of the people's militia.<\/p>\n<p>The architectural project was so complicated and required large investments that more funds were needed to complete the construction. Guria's sons, Mikhail, Andrey and Ivan, who by that time had become rich merchants and traded in many cities of Russia, helped to complete the construction.<\/p>\n<p>The unique temple had an unusual structure and a completely asymmetrical layout. The inhabitants of the settlement were extremely proud of the church, especially since it was built with the money of ordinary people, and not from the sovereign's treasury or monastic funds.<\/p>\n<p>In 1683, Yaroslavl artists painted the walls of the temple inside. Their names have not been preserved, but according to the manner of painting, the choice of fresco subjects and their composition, art historians suggest that they could be Dmitry Semenov and Fyodor Ignatiev.<\/p>\n<h2>Museum &#8220;Music and Time&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183c58dfc8.avif\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183c58dfc8.avif\" alt=\"What to see in Yaroslavl in 1 day on your own - route, photo, description, map\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yaroslavl is famous not only for its ancient monasteries and churches.

In 1694 it was rebuilt in stone. Almost no information has survived from this church, except that it had an additional Tikhonovsky limit. In the 19th century, a new church was erected on the site of the old church.<\/p>\n<p>It was designed in strict accordance with the canons of classicism. On all four sides, the church building was framed by columns, a majestic staircase led to the main entrance.<\/p>\n<p>A large drum crowned the dome with a small head. The temple was badly damaged during the civil war and after, in the first years of Soviet power. By the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl, it was repaired and the dome removed in the last century was restored.<\/p>\n<h2>Metropolitan chambers<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183cbb00c4.avif\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/tourism.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/post-333445-619183cbb00c4.avif\" alt=\"What to see in Yaroslavl in 1 day on your own - route, photo, description, map\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 17th century was a golden age for Yaroslavl architecture. During this period, the city experienced a great economic and cultural upsurge. New stone monasteries, temples are being built here, a new Kremlin is being built. Only civil buildings still remain wooden.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, almost all of them have not reached our time. The only exception was the Metropolitan Chambers. They were built for the Metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl Iona Sysoev. The majestic two-story building was divided into three parts: the vestibule, living quarters and the main part, where the metropolitan held receptions.<\/p>\n<p>The chambers have a unique internal organization of the premises: there are many strange rooms with an incomprehensible purpose; the complex, to the smallest detail thought-out system of engineering communications is also surprising. And the thick walls inside had secret stairs and passages, thanks to which the metropolitan could literally pass through the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Now there is a branch of the Yaroslavl Art Museum. The chambers house an exposition of ancient Russian icons and other paintings by Yaroslavl artists of the 12th-17th centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Before you leave this extraordinary city, stop by the famous Horns and Hooves coffee shop.
