Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fortified heritage
Golden Gate of Vladimir
A large arch passes through the gate’s base, while a small church crowns its white body. This combination sets it apart from nearby cathedrals and reveals its place in the former fortifications.
Religious building
Cathedral of the Dormition
White-stone walls and golden domes give the cathedral a broad silhouette. From outside, its arcading and vertical divisions reveal the design of the facades.
Religious building
Cathedral of Saint Dimitri
St Demetrius’s compact body draws attention to the carved reliefs on its facades. Animals, figures and ornamental motifs appear in the stone; alternating distant and close views changes the experience of the building.
Museum
Vladimir History Museum
The museum’s brick facade contrasts with Vladimir’s white-stone monuments. Its decoration and windows already make an architectural stop; the collection visit should be planned with the museum.
