Kolomna is mysteriously ancient and strikingly modern at thesame time. The town was founded in 1177. The Old Kolomna is a must-see part ofthe town: it has much to remember and much to tell. The Kremlin was built inthe 16th century and had 17 towers, 7 of which have been preservedup to present. MarinkinaTower is one of them. Itmade of brick. Tower’s height is thirty-one meters. Its diameter is elevenmeters. Many years ago this tower had another name – Kolomenskaya. In 1611-1612Marina Mnishek lived in Kolomna. She was Lzhedmitriy the first’s wife and thenshe was Lzhedmitriy the second’s wife. After expulsion of Poles from Moscow she had been shutup in the Tower, where she dead. So people have named this tower Marinkina Tower. There are a lot of monumentsinside the Kremlin. Kolomna is famous for its churches and cathedrals: theResurrection Church, the Assumption Cathedral, Tikhvinskaya Church, theNovo-Golutvin Monastery, the Brusensky Convent and so on. Each of them has itsown history.
The people of Kolomna are proud of their famous compatriotssuch as Russian novelist Ivan Ivanovich Lazhechnikov. He run away from his hometo the French War when he was a young man. After that he wrote the book “Therecruit of 1812”.48 people of Kolomna were decorated with medals in the years of the GreatPatriotic War. 14,000 people died in the war with fascism. In the centre of thetown the eternal flame was erected in honour of these people.
It takes you only 15 minutes to get from the old part of ourtown to the new one, where there are lots of places to play, to see, to eat, toshop and to go after dark.
Sport plays a big part in the life of Kolomna. The town hasmany sports clubs and the Ice Palace, one of the biggest in Europe.There are a lot of stadiums in our town: for example, Avangard, Trud etc. Thetown has many parks; in the centre of Kolomna is Park of Peace.Also it has a lot of cinemas: Vostok, Rus, Gorizont, for example.
