Description
Golden hour before sunset over river Volga and Russian town Yaroslavl, my native place.
Yaroslavl located 250 kilometers (160 mi) northeast of Moscow. The historic part of the city, a World Heritage Site (its shown on this picture), is located at the confluence of the Volga and the Kotorosl Rivers. It is one of the Golden Ring cities, a group of historic cities northeast of Moscow that has played an important role in Russian history.
Tradition has it that Yaroslavl was founded in 1010 by Prince Yaroslav-the-Wise to become the first fortress on the Volga River in order to defend Rostov-the-Great, the centre of North-Eastern Rus.
According to the legend incorporated into the modern coats of arms both of Yaroslavl and the Yaroslavl Region, the mighty prince subdued the local pagan inhabitants by killing their sacred animal, a she-bear, in a hand-to-hand combat.
....Despite the effects of the Russian Civil War and a number of air-raids during the Second World War, the city of Yaroslavl has managed to retain a great deal of its 17th, 18th and 19th century urban substance. This has helped make the city recognizable as a monument to the architectural development and style of the Russian Tsardom. The center of the city, which covers an area of around 600 hectares has around 140 individual federally-protected architectural monuments. Since 2005, this ensemble, along with the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery has been included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Despite all this, there are a number of buildings of architectural merit which are located outside of the city center.
