Novgorod kremlin-detinets

What awaits you

We will begin to inspect the Kremlin from the outside: you will hear about the stages of its construction and understand, and here are the Italian architects and Ivan II.

Let's go to the territory of the Kremlin and inspect its most interesting buildings:

• Novgorod Regional Philharmonic Society - let's discuss whose chambers it was.
• The building of the main Novgorod museum - I will reveal why the main entrance is guarded by "St. Petersburg lions".
• Monument to the Millennium of Russia - you will hear about its creation and the main elements and figures. The story will be brief, because the monument is worthy of a separate excursion - if I want, I can conduct it for you.
• St. Sophia Cathedral is the oldest in Russia. We will find a place where, in prayer, Alexander Nevsky asked for blessings for military feats. Why only one dome is gilded, why a dove always sits on the cross and how deep the cathedral itself went underground - all this will be on an excursion.
  Those who wish will be able to visit the cathedral and see the revered icon of the Replacement of the 12th century, touch the royal prayer place of Ivan the Terrible and see the panic, presented to our city by Boris Godunov.
• Sofia belfry - you will reveal the fascinating stories of Novgorod bells, and if you want, go upstairs and even hit the bell!

In addition, we will walk through the previously closed Vladychny Court, pass under the Novgorod leaning tower and talk about the birth of the state at the Chamber of Facets. In the story there will definitely be guslyar Sadko, Prince Rurik, Peter I, Patriarch Nikon and other characters - without boring dates, but in curious plots and details!
