Last weekend I went to the ancient city of Romanov-Borisoglebsk (Tutaev) which was founded in 1283.

The city is located on the banks of the legendary Russian river - the Volga

It was a tour of the Orthodox churches, the masterpieces of old Russian architecture.

The temple was built in 1658 by Yaroslavl masters on the site of a wooden cathedral

Hello @georgii-tarhanov ,

Thank you for sharing these amazing locations and incredible photos. The architectural style of the churches is amazing!

In Bulgaria, there is a similar church called the Shipka Memorial Churche, the style is very similar to the ones on your photos.

Iā€™m sharing with you a photo of the Shipka Memorial Churche, that I took few years ago.
