This app will be your guide to the treasure trove of Russia's Golden Ring—Rostov the Great. Here, you'll discover the thousand-year history, living traditions, and all facets of this unique city. The content is divided into four key sections.
The "History" section will take you through the centuries: from the birth of the ancient Russian city to the present day. You'll learn about the key eras that shaped its appearance—as the capital of a principality, the spiritual center of Rus', a merchant stronghold, and a modern custodian of its heritage.
The "Places" section transforms the app into an interactive guide. A detailed map highlights key points of interest: the Rostov Kremlin complex, ancient monasteries on the shores of Lake Nero, cozy museums in merchant mansions, and picturesque embankments for strolls.
The "Culture" section will immerse you in the city's atmosphere. Here you'll learn about the phenomenon of Rostov's famous bells, the fine art of enamel, local legends, the calendar of fairs and festivals, and the distinctive features of the region's ancient cuisine.
The "People" section is a portrait gallery of those who shaped Rostov's glory. From Orthodox saints and prince-builders to early historians, renowned merchant-philanthropists, and brilliant enamel masters. Each person is featured in a short biographical article.
