Entertainment, excursions and attractions Staritsy
The main attraction of the city , located on the right bank of the Volga - Uspensky Staritsky Monastery . This is an exceptionally integral ensemble formed during the times of Ivan the Terrible .The active restoration, which is currently underway there, should breathe life into the main historical and, most importantly, the tourist site of Staritsa, although it is only possible to admire the gigantic Russian classical architecture from the outside. . This is one of the most valuable monastic ensembles in Russia, museum, which, unfortunately, is now closed .
Gorodische
On the left bank there is the Gorodische, comparable in size to the Moscow Kremlin. There is the church of Paraskeva Friday, built in 1750. Theoretically, its ensemble can be attributed to Russian baroque, but in practice the architecture of this church has no analogues anywhere in Russia. It can be called the most beautiful in Staritsa. The church is completely abandoned, but you can go inside and see the surviving wall paintings
An unprecedented beauty is opened to all daredevils who reached the big arch bridge connecting the Gorodische and the Assumption Monastery .Staritsa can boast of two Gorodische immediately: Old and New . Closer to the bridge New, steep trails leading to the top . On its slope, another old woman's old woman, a church named for Paraskeva Pyatnitsa,.About 20 years ago, it was restored, but today it is again abandoned and deserted, offering anyone to walk through its dilapidated steps, sagging earth floor, touch the rough walls of the bell tower . Slightly above huddle ancient smithies, arranged directly in the brow of the shaft . And crowns all this holiday of antiquity is our acquaintance, Borisoglebsky Cathedral .
The old town is a businesslike cottage between the Volga River and the Starchonka River, and causes pride among the residents of Staritsa: this is one of the largest and most impressive sites in Russia . Deserted, with the archaeological excavations, all its conquerors, it gives an unforgettable view of the Volga and its surroundings . By the way, only the Staritsky Gate, a thirty-kilometer stretch of the Volga on both sides of the Staritsa compete in terms of picturesqueness in this respect . Volga banks proudly rise at a height of 100 -150 meters, forming a deep gorge . And here at the exit from it through the sand begin to see the rocks, this is the "old stone" (exceptionally qualitative white limestone) . Here there are more than 50 underground coastal quarries ene, the largest of which (about Chukavin village) has a length of more than 14 kilometers in Staritsa .
Borisoglebskiy Cathedral Borisoglebskiy cathedral with bell in Staritsa closed. The powerful walls of the building, wreathed with wild grass, have become gray from time, there is a huge rusty castle on the gate, but despite this, the cathedral rises stately over the Volga, proudly raising the bell tower with the helmet-dome, cracked and knocked down by the winds of heavy times. Either the temple is waiting patiently, when the hand of a person caresses, warms, breathes life into its tired, sagging walls, or the ancient city that once existed in this place protects it.
Other churches of Staritsa
On the left bank of the Volga the ruins of the Ascension church of the times of Ivan the Terrible (near the city garden), and the abandoned Nikolskaya church were preserved. Near the bus station stands the Ilyinsky church, which is a curious example of European baroque.
In the village of Ivanishchi, 20 kilometers from Staritsa, the Assumption Church has survived. This is a rare example of a three-headed church, well preserved. The Red village protects the Church of the Transfiguration as an apple of the eye, an example of a false-logical style.
@ Staritsa, the estate of Vulfov and Pushkin
The old lady and the name of the great Russian poet are inextricably linked. Alexander Pushkin liked to visit these places, which inspired him to create the "Winter Morning", "Anchara", "The Poet and the Crowd". He stayed most often with friends at the Wulfs Manor in Bernovo, which is 50 km from Staritsa.
Now the Pushkin Museum is located in a large manor house, open for visits daily, except Monday and Tuesday from 11:00 to 17:00 . @ By the way, in the estate there is a guest house for several people, in which you can stay for a night . What the hell is not joking, suddenly genius is a contagious thing ?! Just in case, the museum's telephones are 634-4135, 634-4133 . Also the manor of Malnniki and Pavlovka (also of the Wulfs), Chukavino (possession of Pushkin's friend, the great patron of Ivan Ermolaevich Wielkopolski), Konoplino (possession of the well-known in the beginning 19th century fiction writer Ivan Ivanovich Lazhechnikov) .
