About
One of Vologda’s main attractions. The cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1568. Inside have survived 17th-century frescoes created by a team of Yaroslavl masters. On the western wall is the “Last Judgment” composition — the largest fresco of its kind in Russia, covering 400 square meters. The cathedral endured many trials — fires, looting, and the Soviet years, when it housed a museum of atheism with a Foucault pendulum. After restoration from 1999 to 2007, the ancient church regained its 17th-century appearance and became the jewel of the Vologda Kremlin.

Fortresses and Forts
Kaliningrad is one of the few European cities that has preserved such a large number of fortifications.
Pushkinskaya Street
This less-than-a-kilometer-long street connects the embankment with the "Spartak" cinema. It's a pedestrian zone that's pleasant to walk along both in the morning and evening. On the right side—houses, on the left—a small river. The alley is lined with chestnut trees, with benches and lanterns in the middle. Closer to the sea—a magnificent gazebo with columns and wrought-iron details.
