Rostov

 

One of the oldest cities in Russia, founded in 862 AD. Now it is a small town in the Yaroslavl oblast. Not to be confused with Rostov-on-Don.

 

It is easier to put new lampposts than to restore architectural monuments.

 

The old market is being renovated.

 

But the embankment and the streets leading from it still not taken care of.

 

However, from the embankment there is still an excellent view of the Spaso-Yakovlevsky Monastery.

 

St. Nicholas Church on Podozerie.

 

Rostov's Kremlin. Actually it is a not fortress, but a bishop’s compound.

 

Paintings in the porch of the cathedral.

 

A scarecrow.

 

Rostov's constructivism.

 

Some of the ruins in the Kremlin area were repaired and a few more museums were installed there.

 

I definitely used to walk along Leninskaya Street southwest of the Kremlin before. But I didn’t remember it at all. And there, too, there are houses of varying degrees of disrepair.

 

The Pleshanovs' estate.

 

A local hospital.

 

And its tiles

 

Not a bad stylization of wooden modernism at the intersection of Oktyabrskaya and Frunze streets.

 

The window guardian.

 

Getting there (as of November 2023): you can quickly get from Moscow to Rostov by train in two and a half hours. The time by car is about the same.

Where to eat: The Ivan Vasilyevich offers very good coffee.
