Vologda, whose webcams are available online on this site, is famous throughout the country for its lace, oil and carved palisade.
But besides this, in the old Russian city there are many unique sights. These are Museums, theaters, architectural monuments, natural locations and, of course, temples.
The main temple of Vologda is the Hagia Sophia, which was founded in the time of Ivan the Terrible, who for a long time wanted to make this city the capital of Russia. The architectural image of the building was taken from the Assumption Cathedral in Moscow.
Due to the fact that the object is of great age and has passed many tests, after a series of restorations, services were held here exclusively on major holidays. The rest of the time you can come here to see the unique frescoes made at the end of the 17th century. The total area of the painting is about 5 thousand m2. The most beautiful of the frescoes are the image of the Savior in the domed niche, as well as a scene from the Last Judgment.
Along with the main temple, the bell tower belongs to the St. Sophia Cathedral. reaching a height of 78 meters. Despite its size, the structure looks elegant and light. In the bell tower there are chimes that emit a melodic chime every 15 minutes. Also at the top of the building is an observation deck with a breathtaking view of the river and the historical part of Vologda.
Near the St. Sophia Cathedral there are many more sights and monuments. After all, the temple is located on the territory of the ancient Vologda Kremlin. It was erected in the 16th century and today it is considered the hallmark of the city.
The territory of the citadel occupies 55 hectares. During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, residential buildings, a market, barracks, utility rooms were located here. The object was badly damaged during the period of the Polish-Lithuanian intervention, and later completely lost its defensive significance, which is why it was literally dismantled into stones.
Only a few fragments of the structure, as well as buildings that were located outside the fortress walls, have survived to this day. In addition to St. Sophia Cathedral with a bell tower, here you can see the Bishop's and Consistor's courtyards, the Museum of Local Lore. Near the complex is the Kremlin Square, where you can find a lot of attractions, as well as the famous Vologda embankment.
