Vologda, Regional capital in Northwestern Russia

The city of Vologda extends along both banks of the Vologda River, featuring numerous stone churches and traditional wooden houses from different centuries.

Founded in 1147 by monk Gerasimus, Vologda developed into a major trading post connecting Moscow to England through the northern port of Arkhangelsk.

The Vologda State Museum houses collections of religious art, including silver items, icons, and examples of the regional lace-making tradition.

The main railway station, Vologda-1, serves as a transportation hub connecting Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and multiple destinations across northern Russia.

The local dairy industry produces Vologda butter through a specific technique that involves heating cream at exact temperatures to create distinct milk notes.
