Our Explore Tour in Russia included 3 days travelling through the historic Golden Rings Towns known as the Zolotoye Koltso. These ancient towns are said to represent the historic spirit of the Russian people. There are many of them but we visited the 3 major towns of Sergiev Posad, Vladimer and Suzdal in the Rostov Veliky. We all were overwhelmed by the beauty of the golden and colourful domes as well as the great bell tower which were highlighted against the dazzling blue sky.
The Cathedrals of the Assumption (1185-89) and St Demetrius (1194-97) in Vladimer were splendid. as was the Kremlin (fortress or citadel) and Field Museum of Wooden Architecture in Suzdal.
In fact we saw so many "Kremlins and beautiful domes that we ended up being "domed out" however our guides where amazing and showed us so many Russian historical sights that we now feel inspired to read more about Russia. history. Well maybe!
