Golden Ring 4 days/3 nights

The splendid Golden Gate, which have no exact equivalent in mediaeval European architecture, is the unique example of Russian fortification architecture too. Although it was originally built in 1164 as a defensive structure, The Golden Gate also served as a triumphal arch.

The Rostov Kremlin, standing on shore of Lake Nero, is one of the most fascinating wall complexes in Russia. It is divided into three parts: Cathedral square, Bishop's court and Metropolitan's garden. The dominant of the ensemble is the splendid Assumption Cathedral, which is the oldest architectural construction in Rostov.
