Blue Domes with Gold Stars

The view on the beautiful domes of the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin, which is located in Kremlin of Suzdal. These domes looks very imressive and magnetic...

The Nativity Cathedral is the principal temple of Suzdal and one of the latest monuments of the pre-Mongol architecture of the land of Vladimir and Suzdal. It was built inside the Kremlin between 1222 and 1225. Both its exterior and interior design are beautiful. Its facades are decorated with intricate ornaments From the mid 14ththrough the 18th centuries, Suzdal was the center of the eparchy of the Eastern Christian Church and its bishop resided in the Suzdal Kremlin.

One of the important features of the Cathedral is the harmonious combination with surrounding landscape. It stood on the site of the older building erected by Vladimir Monomach quite near to the northern ramparts of the fortress, with its south and east walls facing the town square.

At present the cathedral is under restorations and the rare things from inside were transferred into the bell-tower.

In 1993 the cathedral appears in the UNESCO's cultural list.

We booked Arthur for an entire day of sightseeing around Moscow. He gave us a grand tour and really brought the buildings and sights alive with his knowledge of their history. We had no trouble understanding his English. We enjoyed and trusted his services so much that we booked him on the spot for an airport transfer as well. We look forward to seeing him again on our next trip to Moscow.
