The Golden Ring is a loop of very old towns northeast of Moscow that preceded the present capital as the cultural heart of Russia. Monasteries, kremlins and churches offer a spectacular array of early Russian art, architecture and history. No less enchanting is the countryside with its peaceful villages and beautifully decorated wooden houses.
In the village of Ves, north of Suzdal, the ruins of the Church of the Holy Trinity and Archangel Michael have a romantic and almost surreal atmosphere. The four stories of the high church symbolize the four holy entities to which the church was dedicated. Photo Mick Palarczyk.
