* Dear travelers, I invite you to an excursion to Verkhoturye and the village of Merkushino! Verkhoturye is the spiritual capital of the Urals! I suggest you plunge into its history and see all the splendor of ancient architectural ensembles and walk through the places of St. Simeon Verkhotursky. On the tour, we will see the Kremlin, the only one in the Urals. In addition to the Kremlin, you will see the Convent of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, founded in 1621; St. Nicholas Monastery (1604), including the majestic Holy Cross Cathedral, which is not inferior to the famous St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg. We will visit the village of Merkushino, where the beautiful temple complex of two temples connected by a gallery, the Temple of Simeon Verkhotursky and the Temple of Michael the Archangel, has been completely restored. In your free time, you can attend evening or morning services in the temples of the city.
