Pereslavl-Zalessky

Pereslavl-Zalessky is one of the ancient cities of central Russia, located halfway between Moscow and Yaroslavl, about 130 km North-East of Moscow on the bank of the picturesque Pleshcheevo Lake. In the tenth and eleventh centuries it was a fortified Slav settlement called Kleschin. The ancient ramparts can still be seen across the lake. Founded in1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky of Rostov and Suzdal, the town of Pereslavl went down in the history of Russia as the place, where the future Russian Tsar Peter the Great spent his youth and where he built his “poteshny”(amusing) flotilla, the prototype of the Russia’s first fleet. Pereslavl-Zalessky is proud of its three monasteries which add so much to its beauty. The oldest of them is the Goritsky Monastery said to have been founded during the time of Ivan Kalita (Money-bags). It overlooks the lake and from a distance reminds a fairy-tale town.
