waypoints
1. Kamenny Most Street
- Ярославская обл., Ростовский р-н., г. Ростов, ул. Каменный Мост
- 10 min
Initially, there was a wooden bridge over the moat on Moskovskaya Street (now Leninskaya) at this place. In 1801, it was replaced with a stone one. A cobblestone pavement was laid under it, and rooms for blacksmiths were set up under the bridge itself.
The bridge has long been gone, but the high embankment of the carriageway and the name of Kamenny Most Street, which leads to the Kremlin from Moscow, remind us of one of these passages.
2. Leninskaya Street
- Ярославская обл., Ростовский р-н., г. Ростов, ул. Ленинская
- 25 min
In the 19th century, Moskovskaya Street was often informally called "Pokrovskaya" after the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, located in the second block of the street, and after the October revolution the street became "Leninskaya". But, regardless of the names, it has always been the most prestigious, most convenient, most well-maintained, and most beautiful street in the city, maintaining Rostov's "European reputation." It remains that way to this day. And equally picturesque in all seasons.
3. Spaso-Yakovlevsky Dimitriev Monastery
- Ярославская обл., Ростовский р-н., г. Ростов, ул. Добролюбова
- 20 min
The Saviour-Yakovlevsky Dimitriev Monastery was founded at the end of the 14th century by St. James, Bishop of Rostov. The monastery has the status of a cultural heritage site of federal significance. On the territory of the monastery there are Zachatievsky, Dimitrievsky and Yakovlevsky temples, as well as the Transfiguration Cathedral.
4. Lake Nero Embankment
- Ярославская обл., Ростовский р-н., г. Ростов, ул. Подозерка
- 25 min
The first settlements appeared here 6 thousand years ago, in the VII– IX centuries the Merya tribe lived here, thanks to which, according to one version, the name "Nero" appeared near the lake (which means swampy, muddy).
The lake's attractive power is amazing and inexplicable. They can be admired and admired! And it's even a bit envious of the Rostovites who live on the lake – the lake is always close to them.
