Yaroslavl

Yaroslavl, situated 260 kilometres north of Moscow, is a unique city on the Volga River where the breathtaking beauty of nature, the splendour of ancient architecture and modern industry are harmoni¬ously combined together. The town was first mentioned in Russian chronicles in the beginning of the 11th century. At the times of the Tartar invasion (13-14th centuries) Yaroslavl was burned and de¬molished; but in the 15th century it was mostly rebuilt and restored and became an important commercial centre again. For a period of time it was the second richest and most powerful city in Russia, after Moscow. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Yaroslavl developed as a centre of heavy industry. Today, manufactures of the city include petro¬leum refiners (one of the biggest oil companies "Slavneft" works there), motor vehicles, chemicals, synthetic rubber, machinery, processed food, and textiles. Yaroslavl has over a hundred churches. The city starts from the Spassky Monastery (Saviour Monastery) that was founded in the 12th century at the place where the Kotorosl River meets the Volga River. The main church of the Monastery is the oldest building left in Yaroslavl: the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Ca¬thedral (Saviour Transfiguration Cathedral), which is al¬most 500 years old (the foundation is 800 years old).
