by bugulma

Not far from Uspensky Cathedral there is another architecture, Dmitrievsky Cathedral. Cathedral was built in 1194-1197 by Vsevolod III Duke. Unlike the main cathedral of Vladimir Dmitrievsky Cathedral has a look that it had just after building works without any renovated forms. The only work was here is reconstruction. Inside the cathedral you can enjoy wall paintings of XII-XIII century. The entrance fee is RUR 20 (EUR 0.5) for Russians and RUR 80 (EUR 2.3) for foreign citizens.

From Dmitrievsky Cathedral towards bus station there is Nikolo-Kremlevskaya Church. It was built in 1769 and it is a good example of the regional barocco style, which was popular in russian cities in Ekaterina II the Great Empress epoche. The interesting thing is there is a planitarium nowadays :-)

"26th February 2005"

On 26th February 2005 I stayed in the 'Vladimir Hotel'. Arriving late in the evening on a cold Winter night I had little idea about what to expect in the Town. Looking out of my Hotel window early the next morning this picture is a permanent reminder of my first view of Vladimir.
