Ryazan land is generally rich in churches, cathedrals and monasteries. One of the most beautiful cathedrals is Assumption Cathedral located on the territory of the Kremlin. In addition to beauty, the pride of the cathedral is the iconostasis - the highest in Russia.
The cathedral, like most other religious structures of our country, in the years of the revolution became only a building, in which there was a planetarium periodically, and later there were various exhibitions. Agree, this is not the worst thing that could happen to the temple. Often, the churches did barns, stables or destroyed at all. But the Assumption Cathedral surrendered and was again covered in 1992. The Assumption Cathedral is open only in the summer, in the winter to get into it will not succeed.
On the territory of the Kremlin there are 4 more cathedrals, 4 churches and 1 chapel. All of them belong to 15-17 centuries, except for the chapel built in 1995 to the celebration of the 900-year anniversary of Ryazan.
