A Curved Way to the Ancient Kremlin of Dmitrov
DMITROV, MOSCOW REGION, RUSSIA - The view from Kropotkinskaya street on a passage between earthen ramparts which surround the ancient part of the city, Dmitrov Kremlin, as a part of fortifications. In medieval times on these ramparts were raised wooden walls and towers to defend the stronghold of the town. Behind the ramparts stands the main landmark of Dmitrov, the magnificent Assumption Cathedral, built in 1509-1523. The church that resembles Archangel Michael Cathedral located in Moscow Kremlin was constructed during the reign of Ivan the Great's son Yury Ivanovich (1503–1533) who inaugurated the golden age of the town. The nice pedestrian Kropotskinskaya street near walls of the Kremlin very well maintained with flowers and street lamps and reminds Moscow’s Old Arbat, just one big difference – very quiet and peaceful here comparing with the big city.
