    It was the main gate to the city in the previous time. The building works were completed in1164. In the same time it was the center of the fortification buildings and of the main place for the meeting of the foreigners as well as a place where soldiers were gone to the battle. Besides it is a place of triumph, when people came in the glory. For exampe, Alexander Nevsky came to the city in 1252 through Golden Gate.
    In XVIII century fortification buildings were partly destroyed and Golden Gate is without walls now that joined it with other towers.
    Nowadays there is a tradition for the just married people to go through Golden Gate that symbolizes that they will be happy during whole family life.

    The main cathedral of the Vladimir. it was built in 1158-1160 in order of Andrey Bogolyubsky, the Duke of those times. After city fire of 1185 the cathedral was rebuilt and enlarged by Vsevolod III. The wall paintings were very rich and famous in Russian fields. In the end of XV century Andrey Rublyov participated in the paintings. The bell tower was built much later, in XVIII century, with interesting style of towers. Some photos of the cathedral in the travelogue.

    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.

    To the right from Golden Gate (on the picture) there is Kozlov Val. it is a former fortification walls around Vladimir. But in XVIII century walls were broken because they prevented to the traffic of the citizens and visitors as well as new plan of building works. The place you see Kozlov landowner bought to the own and cause of it the place got name Kozlov Val.

    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 :-)

    There are fantastic wall frescos on the cathedral. In the western wall of the cathedral they have native form and in other walls they were reconstructed. Figures show the man, it symbolize Alexander Makedonsky and Duke of Vladimir. Besides you can see the magic animals who must defend people from evil.

    Near of Golden Gate there is Troitskaya Church. I'm sure it has the most wonderful architectural style among churches in the city. It was built in 1913-1916. Nowadays there is a cut glass ware museum.
