 | Golden Ring unites a group of ancient Russian towns to the North-East of Moscow. The towns are arranged in a circular pattern around the capital forming a ring. These small towns including Sergiev Posad (the center of Russian Orthodoxy), Rostov, Vladimir, Suzdal, Pereslavl Zalessky, Kostroma, Yaroslavl were built between XI and XVII centuries. The Golden Ring area provides an excellent opportunity to see typical Old Russian cities that are still surrounded by ancient Kremlins, churches, and monasteries. Today these towns are often called museums in the open area where unique monuments of Russian architecture are kept and compiled, reminding of the dramatic events and fabulous people that fill in Russian history
