What to do and see in Suzdal, Central Russia: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

November 7, 2021 Madelene Haan

Historic Suzdal is one of Russia’s oldest settlements, dating back to early the 11th century. It’s a serene and charming place, offering a latticework of unpaved paths that wind by churches with candy-colored domes, rustic wooden structures and cinematic meadows. Sip some local medovukha honey cider for a true taste of the region.

Nativity of the Virgin Cathedral

Reviewed By WW_Traveller023 - Kirrawee, Australia

This large Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin is dedicated to the Mother of Jesus, this is apparent from outside where such churches have blue domes. This church has a famous door, a 13th century double metal door called the golden door because of its special 'gilding' and the intricacies of its illustrations. The inside is very impressive despite it not being large in surface area; the Iconostasis is very impressive in gold and its painted panels.
