Beareded Dragons Fire And Ice

Smolensk. Part 4

The normal map of the city could not be found, so we are at it not really looked. Just went on domes yes towers))




not my hands))


Pay attention to the bricks!
Each city has its own brick building, a stone ...
in Pskov and Izborsk fortress walls built from unique local limestone; Novgorod the church - of alternating layers of plinfy and mortar or loose Rakushechnoye Ilmenski pink limestone (and they are now exempt from the white plaster, which appeared in Novgorod lands after Ivanushki Terrible) in Vladimir and Suzdal - from a flat plastic and white stone. And in Smolensk - perfectly burned a large brick terracotta color inside. I never saw such:)




Trinity men's Orthodox monastery


Trinity Cathedral Life-giving (17 century)


Cathedral of the Dormition (Assumption Cathedral) - Cathedral of Smolensk and Kaliningrad of the Russian Orthodox Diocese Church. Located in the central city of Smolensk on Cathedral Hill. Erected in memory of the heroic defense of the city of Smolensk in the years 1609-1611 on the site of the same name Cathedral of the XII century. wiki


Cathedral painted, and round - like the city itself ...


Multicolored bells


After serving






can say - Almost the center of Smolensk)) Streets run through the valleys and ridges mezhrechnym.




Church of St. George, 1782


Red Tower, a loaf and Gorvodocanal (I will not tell you how we tried to read this sign ...):)


up there - WALL. And for the sake of the wall was worth going to Smolensk! All the walls - a wall! but on her sled.poste))
