Although substantially reconstructed and including several anachronistic elements (such as a grotesque nineteenth century memorial that attempts to incorporate every major element of Russian national culture), this is a remarkable site for those interested in medieval history. The historical museum within the site is very good and should not be overlooked.

took a walking tour and enjoyed the time spent many monuments and churches to see, one of the oldest sites in Russia

We spent an hour walking through this beautiful and small fortification. It is being restored so the rampart walks are all being put back and th views over the river are wonderful. Peaceful area with the eternal flame, Millennium Sculpture and Sofia's church.
