Yaroslávl'. The "wooden" and "ground" quarters

Yaroslávl'. The "wooden" and "ground" quarters

Published:

Took place on: 2024-11-30

In Russian terms, only an anniversary or a championship can change and elevate a city, but its historical centre is still preserved well together with its many churches

When the historical centre of Yaroslávl is the subject, in its wide definition it includes former suburbs on the right bank of Kotórosl. But it gets excluded mostly, so we deal with an area of a tolerable condition.

I moved into the guesthouse right on the waterfront, and the neighboring building was the Church of the Epiphany.

This majestic church was built in the end of XVII century, prior to western styles like baroque reaching this region

I think Church of St. John Chrysostom really made a big impact on it, as it was built 30 years prior

The following hours were spent taking a walk in Koróvniki. Next I rested for some time and on the evening I met with my local buddy. Here he guided me throughout the "wooden" quarter, and to be sincere, I don't remember anything I walked along.

There were restoration works going on inside, but, in some sense, I've got unique shots
