Pskov webcams, which this site offers to watch online, open a panorama of the Russian city of military glory with a century-old history.
Pskov, located in the north-west of our country, has long served as an outpost of protecting Russian borders from invaders. Now this city is a real open–air museum, actively developing its tourist infrastructure. Unique architectural monuments and religious shrines attract many connoisseurs of Russian history and picturesque natural views here.
The first mention of Pskov is dated in the "Tale of Bygone Years" in 903 by the biography of Grand Duchess Olga – the "wife of Pskov" Prince Igor.
But it is known that the first settlements were here before: first there were Finno-Ugric tribes, and around the VI century – Slavic.
The first serious fortification that has survived to this day is the Pskov Krom – the oldest landmark of the historical part of the city. The walls of the great fortress with a length of about 9 km and a height of up to 8 meters were considered the most reliable in the country and originally consisted of a wooden pillar on a bulk earthen rampart. In the XVI century, these were already mighty stone fortifications, reinforced with 40 towers.
If you watch Pskov webcams online, Krom stands out for its location on a hill at the confluence of the Velikaya and Pskov rivers.
This architectural ensemble, popular among tourists, occupies an area of about 3 hectares and includes defensive walls, civil buildings, the majestic Trinity Cathedral and the famous Dovmont City. The fortress towers of Krom have been preserved to this day, thanks to constant restorations that have significantly changed their appearance. Only a low Flat tower dating from the beginning of the XVI century, located at the mouth of Pskov, has completely preserved its original appearance. The Vlasevskaya Tower was restored literally from the foundation, but it turned out to be reliable enough to equip a convenient observation deck. From almost ten meters high, magnificent views of Pskov and the Great River open up.
The snow-white Trinity Cathedral, built in 1699 and reaching a height of almost 80 meters, is deservedly considered a real decoration of Chrome.
