Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 3 hours
* In the old days, the city was a closed consecrated space, a "body", in the middle of which there is a "heart" — a cathedral church. A city is a living organism that has a time of birth, development, decline, and development again. The life story of the city of Vladimir is the theme of this tour. From the Golden Gate leading at dawn to the Golden Gate, we will walk through the ring of local antiquity. We will see postcard panoramas of Vladimir's popular tourist routes and take a look at the corners of the medieval city inaccessible to the average visitor. Not only Kozlov Val, but also Yuzhny, Ivanovsky, Troitsky, Borovitsky, Monastyrsky will appear before our eyes. The streets are narrow, winding and "uncombed" for tourists, steeply descending to the rivers. Along the route, we will try to comprehend the history of Vladimir's formation, his development from a small fortress in Zaleshsky Ukraine, far from the splendor of capital Kiev, to a new political and religious center of medieval Russia, which was destined to later transfer the grand princely table to Moscow. Here are a few offhand questions that we will discuss.: • Why is Vladimir's main city gate Golden? What role did Tsar David unwittingly play in Russian history? • Coat of arms of Vladimir: lion or? • Who is the founder of the city: Kagan Volodimer or Archon Volodimer? • Why are 12th-century churches in Vladimir made of stone instead of brick, as in other cities? • Who "forgot" the great icon painter Mark, and Rublev "remembered"? • Where is Russia's oldest functioning urban highway? • What happened to us in 6666 from the creation of the world? • Why do women need gates and do they have them in Vladimir? • Irpen, Lybed, Pochaina, Pechery: where did Kievan names come from in Zalesie? We will see the temples of the Transfiguration of the Savior, St. George, the Ordination of the Sacrament, the Assumption of the Virgin, St. Demetrius, the monasteries of the Nativity and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin - living traces of the history of Great Russia. An excursion for inquisitive minds, strong legs, tireless feet, for souls eager for adventure and superpowers that allow them to see the past.
