Bell tower of Holy Cross Church

Rostov Holy Cross Church was built in 1692. Initially it was an example of ancient Russian architecture, at the end of the 18th century it acquired the features of classicism, and in the 19th century it was rebuilt in the Russian style. The temple was destroyed. Only the bell tower remained, which was converted into a fire tower with a clock. Nearby is the city's fire station, built on the site of a demolished temple.

The main attraction of the Yaroslavl region is a constellation of 12 ancient cities: Yaroslavl, Gavrilov-Yam, Danilov, Lyubim, Myshkin, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Poshekhonye, Rostov the Great, Rybinsk, Tutaev, Uglich and the flooded Mologa. Each of them has its own unique appearance and atmosphere.
