Yaroslavl webcams, which you can watch online on this site, offer a view of one of the oldest Russian cities with a thousand-year history.
The date of its foundation, according to records in the annals, is considered to be 1010. Once Yaroslav the Wise chose this convenient place for security purposes from predatory raids. On two sides, Yaroslavl was surrounded by the wide channels of the Volga and Kotorosl, and on the third side, it was reliably protected by the high and steep Medvezhy ravine.
Now these glorious rivers play a completely different role in the life of Yaroslavl. Tourist and trade river routes are very popular. Also, riverbeds geographically divide the city into several districts.
For tourists, the central area, called Kirovsky, is more attractive. This is the historical center, where the most famous sights of Yaroslavl are located. All excursion routes start from the central square of the Epiphany, where the symbol of the city is installed - a monument to Yaroslav the Wise.
Most of the Orthodox temples and churches are also located in the central region. A special place in the history of Yaroslavl is occupied by the Magnificent Transfiguration Monastery - the monastery of Ivan the Terrible. It was here, in the monastery library, that "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" was discovered.
If you watch Yaroslavl webcams online, you can see the right bank of the Kotorosl River, where the industrial zone of the city is concentrated.
This is the Krasnoperekopsky district, the locals call it Perekop. In the era of Peter I, the predecessors of modern enterprises, manufactories, worked in these places, and workers' settlements were built. Of the city attractions here you can see several temples and Peter and Paul Park.
The largest district of Yaroslavl - Zavolzhsky is stretched along the left bank of the Volga and is known as the location of the oldest Tolgsky convent in Russia.
In the Frunzensky district there is another Orthodox "Mecca" - a grandiose temple complex.
The Leninsky district of the city is interesting for tourists primarily for the Museum of Military Glory, the exhibition halls of which store exhibits from the time of ancient conquests to the Great Patriotic War.
If it is not yet possible to see the city with your own eyes, then the webcams of Yaroslavl, which you can watch online even from home, will help you make an equally interesting virtual tour.
