The name of this city is only intriguing. We all met him, even before they learned that it was not only a male name, but also the beautiful city of Russia. I do not know, I would not hear the word "Vladimir" in my entire life. Yes, at first and I thought it could only call only boys who grow into men, and that there is also a city with the same name, I found out only at school at one of the lessons of history. Visit Personally, Vladimir, I got only this year, and I will say to you honestly - he conquered me. In Vladimir, I liked everything and I would gladly come here again. I hope that my dream come true next year, we will visit Vladimir in full family composition. I will not tell you about hotels, cafe, and so on, as I am aimed at the story of the local attractions of the city of Vladimir.

One thousand nine hundred and ninety second year, these gates brought to UNESCO World Heritage List.
Assumption Cathedral . This is one of the most significant and brightest monuments of the Belarusian architecture of the Domongolian Rus. Until that time, Moscow was raised and exalted, this cathedral was the main temple of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus. It is in the walls of this cathedral, the mysteries of the wedding of the great princes and heirs from the Vladimir and Moscow regions took place. Later cathedrals were built in the image and likeness of this. The cathedral has a rich history and a magnificent appearance. The beginning of the construction of this cathedral was put in one thousand one hundred and fifty eighth year, and it was completed in one thousand one hundred and sixtieth year. Imagine how old he is? Especially in his age it is difficult to believe if you see it with your own eyes. One thousand one hundred and sixty-first year, the cathedral was covered with luxurious and impressive paintings. In those days, his dimensions were huge, and his structure with all their appearance, sought to the heavens closer. The quality of the stone from which the cathedral was erected was the best and that is why he probably managed to reach our time, almost in impeccable state. Find this ancient splendor, you can on a large Moscow street.
Dmitrievsky Cathedral . Based on the information that was able to get from the ancient chronicles, the cathedral was built in one thousand one hundred and ninety-first year on the orders of Vsevolod a large nest at the princely yard. The cathedral is interesting not only by its age, and also what he is decorated with amazing reliefs, which are a total of six hundred pieces. On reliefs, some animals and saints are depicted, both both real and fictional, that is, mythical. Surprisingly, a large part of the reliefs, safely preserved and reached our days with you, in its original form. Some of the reliefs were replaced during the restoration carried out in the nineteenth century. Inside the temple, in those distant times, was completely decorated with frescoes, but unfortunately, only some of them reached our time. One of the preserved frescoes, and in part, depicts a "terrible court". Very interesting temple, and I advise you to visit him, even if you are a complete atheist.
