What to see in Torzhok
The city of Torzhok, standing at the intersection of trade routes, was a center of trade in Russia and was famous for merchant prosperity. In the old days, it had six gates through which roads to major cities of Russia went.
Modern Torzhok has a small area, but these 60 square kilometers contain many valuable architectural and cultural monuments. These are preserved merchant houses and majestic temples. On its territory is the Borisoglebsky Monastery, founded in the first century AD and built according to the project of the famous Russian architect Nikolai Lvov.
The Annunciation and Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk churches, as well as the Transfiguration Cathedral, built according to the project of Karl Rossi, are not inferior to it in beauty. Due to the large number of ancient architectural masterpieces, Torzhok is rightfully called a monument of urban planning. The charm of antiquity can be observed in all corners of the city.
Grand dukes and celebrities visited this glorious Russian city. Among them, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin can be named, who praised in his poetic lines not only the hospitable hosts of the city and its culinary delights, but also the skills of the Russian people.
Unique sewing with gold and silver threads has long been famous here. The craftsmen of Torzhok embroidered whole paintings, portraits and icons with the finest thread. Until now, you can bring an exclusive piece embroidered with gold thread from Torzhok as a souvenir. And once a year, you can see an air show performed by Berkut combat helicopters over the city, which are considered the world's only aerobatic team.
