Russia: Map of the city Yaroslavl (Ярослáвль)

Yesterday, I received postcard from Russia.

Featuring one of my favorite postcard types, this card is a map of the Russian city Yaroslavl. Located at the northeast of Moscow, Yaroslavl is the largest city out of the Golden Ring cities, which was a group of eight historic cities northeast of Moscow that has placed an important role in the Russian history.

Yaroslavl has managed to retain a great deal of its 17th-19th century urban substance. One of the most well-known building in the city is the "Spaso-Preobrazhensky" Monastery. It was founded in the 12th century, and its cathedral was one of the oldest building in the city.

Hope you all like this card :)
