Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* The tour is dedicated to the history of the Novgorod Fortress from the Middle Ages to the present day. It includes a story about the defensive structures of ancient Novgorod, the most important events in the history of the fortress (for example, the storming of Novgorod by the Swedes in 1611). Visitors will also learn who served in the fortress, how the archers and gunners lived, what artillery pieces stood on the walls and towers, what and how they were loaded. In the final, the guests of the city will get acquainted with the Alekseevskaya (White) Tower, a rare monument of defensive architecture of the late 16th century in Novgorod. This is the only surviving tower of the outer ring of fortifications of ancient Novgorod, a Roundabout city. Next to the tower, you can see the remains of other fortifications of the Roundabout city – an earthen rampart with a moat adjacent to it, as well as reconstructed sections of wooden walls of the XVI and XVII centuries. There is an observation deck on the upper tier of the tower, which offers beautiful views of the southern part of Veliky Novgorod and the surrounding area. The tour is led by a candidate of historical Sciences, author of guidebooks and books about the history of Veliky Novgorod.
