Silver domes and bell tower

Silver domes and bell tower

The church of the Smolenskaya Icon of the Mother of God was built in Suzdal in 1696-1706, and restored by Olga Guseva in 1960. The church has many features in common with other buildings belonging to the same period. The cornice of indented cut stone, balusters and small kokoshniks, resembles that on the Emperor Constantine Church, while the broad wall surfaces with three symmetrically placed windows remind one of the Ascension Church in the Saint Alexander Monastery.
The Church's bell-tower belongs to the period of Russian Classical architecture at the end of the eighteenth century.

Arthur speaks good english, is dependable and informative about the histoiry and living today in Russia, not just tourist sites. He is a wonderful photographer and assists you with getting the best shots. As a single, 72 yr. old woman, I felt completely safe with his excellent driving and capable organization. He even helped me purchase a new camera, something I could not have done on my own in a place where no
English was spoken. I am recommending Arthur to all my traveling friends. His services are reasonable and he is an excellent guide.
