The main district of Vladimir and its historical part is the Oktyabrsky district, which contains not only valuable monuments, but also various government agencies.
What to see in Vladimir
The Palace Cultural and Educational Center on Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street is located in a building that was once the city's state office. Now it is part of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum and includes a museum center specially designed for children, which has many thematic exhibitions.
Monument to the 850th anniversary of Vladimir on Cathedral Square. The foundation for this monument was laid in 1958 to commemorate the 850th anniversary of Vladimir (at that time it was believed that the city was founded in 1108). It consists of a concave three-sided obelisk with a statue on each side.
Monument to Andrey Rublev. At the entrance to Pushkin Park there is a monument to Andrei Rublev, Russia's most famous icon painter. The statue was unveiled in 1995 as part of the city's millennium celebrations. The statue is located near the Assumption Cathedral, which Rublev himself had a hand in decorating.
Assumption Diocesan Cathedral. One of the most famous white stone buildings of pre-Mongol Russia is the Vladimir Assumption Cathedral. The original version of the cathedral was built between 1158 and 1160 by order of Andrei Bogolyubsky to store the icon of the Vladimir Mother of God, which he brought with him from Vyshgorod.
Monument to Prince Vladimir and Saint Theodore. Also on Cathedral Square, not far from the Assumption Cathedral, there is a monument to Prince Vladimir the Great. Prince Vladimir was the prince of Kiev from 980 to 1015 and was responsible for the fact that Russia abandoned the pagan religion in favor of Christianity. Prince Vladimir is depicted riding a horse with a waving banner depicting Christ. Next to him stands Saint Theodore, who helped him in his mission to baptize Russia.
The Church of the Archangel Michael was built in 1893 with funds left for this purpose by the will of a local merchant. Built of red brick, it has the shape of a tower church with a dome standing on top of a hexagonal structure with curved domes.
The Church of the Ascension on Voznesenskaya Street dates back to 1724, but the church dedicated to the Ascension of Christ has been standing here since at least 1187. Then it was part of the monastery, which was most likely founded by Andrei Bogolyubsky. In 1813, a bell tower was added to commemorate the victory over Napoleon.
The Golden Gate at the beginning of Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street was built between 1158 and 1164 by order of Andrei Bogolyubsky to serve as the main entrance to the city. Now the gate has become a symbol of the city. Initially, the city was completely surrounded by earthen mounds. In addition to the Golden Gate, there were four more sets of gates, but they have not been preserved.
The Catholic Church of the Holy Rosary on Gogol Street, the only Catholic church in Vladimir, was built between 1892 and 1894 in the Russian Gothic style. In 1930, the church was closed, and in Soviet times its bell tower was used as a radio transmitter, and in the 1970s its building was used as an exhibition hall. It was returned to the Catholic Church in 1992.
The exhibition "Old Vladimir" on Kozlov Val Street. The Old Vladimir exhibition is located on four floors of the old water tower, which presents expositions dedicated to the history of the city from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.
The first floor is dedicated to the city, its streets and buildings, the second floor to the citizens and the third floor to the spiritual life of the city. The observation deck is located on the fourth floor.
St. George's Church on Georgievskaya Street. In 1157, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky built a church here and dedicated it to his patron saint George. However, the old church burned down. The new church was built in the Baroque style with a decorated cubic structure with a single dome attached to a hipped domed bell tower.
The Mother of God-Rozhdestvensky Monastery was founded in 1191 by Grand Duke Vsevolod the Great Nest of Vladimir and dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. During the Mongol-Tatar invasion in 1237, the monastery was looted. In 1263, the body of Andrei Nevsky was originally buried here, but in 1723 it was moved to St. Petersburg. In 1744, the monastery became the residence of the Archbishop of Vladimir and Suzdal.
Assumption Old Believers Church. One of the most beautiful and decorative churches in Vladimir is the Assumption Church. It was built in 1649. The main building of the church is crowned with five green domes, and under them is decorated with three rows of kokoshniks.
The Stoletov House Museum is dedicated to the brothers Nikolai and Alexander Stoletov, who were born in Vladimir and grew up in the house that the museum now occupies. Nikolai was a general who became famous during the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-1878, and Alexander was a physicist and professor at Moscow State University.
The Victory Memorial at the intersection of Lenin Avenue and Tchaikovsky Street was opened in 1967 and then included only the eternal flame and memorial pedestals. The statue of the mother, soldier and home front worker was added in 1985.
