Yaroslavl
The northern bear of Russia was
founded by Yaroslav the Wise in the 11th century and developed an unusual decorative brick and
glazed tile design found on several surviving churches in the city. The Icon Museum collection, the
imposing Church of St. Elijah the Prophet with its own superbly surviving 17th century frescoes and
great acoustics, the large riverside park hosting the controversial bronze statue of the Holy
Triniity, the physically beautiful population of Yaroslavl and its perfect blend of old and new
make the city a frequent tour stop.
