 My friends talked so interestingly about the trip to Suzdal that I really wanted to repeat their excursion. By the way, they often choose a historical city that has preserved its buildings from ancient times as an object for travel. This time the choice fell on the "Golden Ring of Russia". Finally, there were common days of rest when you could go on a trip with your family.
 While we were looking at the map and making plans, we were even more eager to visit Suzdal, this unique ancient settlement located on a small hill, where on the horizon the fields and forests surrounding the city rest against the sky.
We left with other tourists early in the morning on a comfortable bus, accompanied by a guide. All the way, the woman guide told interesting facts. It turns out how much we don't know! And we don't even know about it!
And here we are in Suzdal! We drove up to the city along the ring road. The city at a glance! It is famous for its buildings, which keep the peculiarities of the culture of the times of Vladimir Monomakh and Yuri Dolgorukov.
Suzdal is a monument of ancient architecture, so residents are not allowed to build residential buildings higher than two floors, so as not to distort the protected architecture. Many foreigners come to admire the local beauty, imbued with the history of the city. The restoration of buildings is constantly going on here, it is necessary to maintain the images preserved on them in order to prevent them from complete destruction.
We visited the most famous historical sites of the city. Usually tourists are invited to visit the Rozhdestvensky and Rizpolozhensky cathedrals, which are known as vivid examples of the creative processing of Byzantine architecture on a Russian basis.
Amazing beauty awaits visitors inside the Nativity Cathedral. The walls from floor to ceiling are painted with multi-colored frescoes depicting the divine story from the birth of Christ to his death and resurrection.
For a long time we examined the scenes from the painting, admired the serenity that reigns in the temple, we wanted to still be in this amazing atmosphere of peace of mind. But one more magnificent architectural monument was waiting for us.
The Cathedral of the Robe Deposition was restored in 1964. The shrine is one of the earliest temples in medieval architecture. It is relatively small in size. The monk beats the bells in it. They say that if you listen to the ringing from beginning to end, then you will definitely look younger by several years and gain spiritual happiness. Truly divine ringing, he did not let us go. I wanted to stand and listen, forgetting about time, about worldly concerns, about the time to go home ...
At parting, we bought souvenirs that will remind you of an unforgettable trip. The bus took us away from the city, and in our thoughts there was still the ringing of bells, as in the very name of this most beautiful monument in the “Golden Ring of Russia”. God bless you, Suzdal! And we will tell our friends how attractive and unforgettable you are.
