Description of the attraction
In the 12th century, the Kremlin was founded on a high hill on the left bank of the Moscow River. Now this territory is called Gorodok. Here is the Assumption Cathedral - the only building of the Zvenigorod Kremlin that has survived to this day.
The white-stone one-domed temple is crowned with a helmet-shaped head and decorated with a triple belt of carved ornament. With the single-domed cathedrals erected in Russia in the XII century, it is related by the laying of a white-stone wall, when all flaws and gaps were completely filled with lime mortar. Interior murals by Andrei Rublev and his students have been preserved on the eastern pillars and in the drum.
Nearby, a two-tiered bell tower with a domed roof was erected in the 19th century, modeled on the Old Russian belfries.

the beauty grew up in these places, the town is on a hill, access by car is difficult, but it is more interesting to walk (about 10 minutes), I advise you to visit this place. in general Zvenigorod and its surroundings are worthy of attention!
