Nice pictures! Uglich is part of Zolotoe Kol'co, isn't it

Yes, it is. like Vladimir, Suzdal, Yaroslavl, Murom, etc...We were lucky to see Yaroslavl, the city that is celebrating 1000 anniveresary in September 2010. Unfortunately we had too little time and couldn't see all the sights which are really worth visiting, though we went sightseeing in the center.There are 29 churches in the city. A new one is being built and they will have finished it by the end of the summer. At least they hope. I noticed that the church looks very much the same as the Abby in Moscow and the guide said that it's reaaly so as the project and the architect, Denisov, are the same.
Look at the pictures. This was the only cathedral we were allowed to see both outside and inside.

We listened to wonderful singing. Sorry to say I couldn't buy their CDs as there were many people from other countries and they seemed to be having more time and buy them.


One more church


And a part of the monestery that is a museum now. Again too little time
