Tourist Attractions
There are numerous churches, monasteries and Kremlin, as the Russian type of castles or citadels are called, in the Yaroslavl area. Part of it counts to Golden ring. During the time of the Russian Revolution, many art treasures were irretrievably lost, and a number of buildings fell victim to the damming of the Volga and its tributaries, but there are still a large number of sights here. They are easiest to find in the tourist centers, which already had a good infrastructure during the Soviet era, primarily these are Rostov and Yaroslavl.
