Zaraysk, Administrative center in Moscow Oblast, Russia.
The town extends along the right bank of the Osyotr River at an elevation of 160 meters, encompassing an area of 967 square kilometers.
Founded in 1146, Zaraysk transformed from a wooden fortress into a significant defense point with the construction of a stone kremlin in 1531.
The Zaraysk Kremlin features six preserved towers and two gates built with brick and limestone, representing medieval Russian military architecture.
Visitors can reach Zaraysk by regular bus services from Moscow, with the journey taking approximately two and a half hours through direct routes.
Archaeological excavations near the Kremlin walls revealed Upper Paleolithic artifacts, including a 22,000-year-old bison figurine from the Gravettian period.
