Happy 2026!
I wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I started the new year by visiting Ryazan. It's a very beautiful city, and I especially loved the architecture!
The Ryazan Kremlin is the city's calling card.
The Ryazan Kremlin is the oldest part of Ryazan, an open-air historical and architectural museum-reserve, and the birthplace of the city. Initially, the Kremlin was called Pereyaslavl, until Catherine the Great renamed the city Ryazan in 1778. According to the Sledovanaya Psalter, it was founded in 1095 on a high hill at the confluence of the Trubezh and Lybed rivers as a guard outpost of the Grand Duchy of Ryazan. Since the 14th century, the Ryazan Kremlin has been the residence of the Grand Duke and later became one of the main defensive centers of the Great Abatis Line. At its peak, the Kremlin boasted 12 towers, four gates with bridges, an underground passage, three monasteries, four squares, a marketplace, and a river port. The city prison had 18 towers and four gates with bridges. Five roads led from the city gates into Ryazan and neighboring principalities. Stone construction began in the Kremlin in the 15th century, with the construction of the Assumption Cathedral and the Glebovskaya Tower. In the 16th century, the Archangel Cathedral and the bishop's courtyard complex, whose buildings survive to this day, were built.
After the 1917 Revolution, the Kremlin buildings were converted into workers' apartments, and in 1923 the Provincial Museum of Local History moved in and opened its first exhibitions. In the 1950s and 1960s, the first large-scale scientific restoration of the architectural monuments took place, largely thanks to which this unique ensemble has been preserved to this day. In 1968, the Kremlin grounds were declared a specially protected historical and architectural reserve. In 1995, the Kremlin was included in the Register of Particularly Valuable Cultural Heritage Sites of the Russian Federation.
Currently, the Ryazan Kremlin is the main landmark and symbol of the city. It houses museums, active churches, and the oldest buildings and structures in the Ryazan region.
