Volokolamsk, Administrative center in Moscow Oblast, Russia
The town stretches along the Gorodenka River near its meeting point with the Lama River, 129 kilometers northwest of Moscow, Russia.
First documented in 1135 as Volok na Lame, the settlement functioned as a vital portage point connecting the trade routes between Novgorod and Moscow.
The white limestone Resurrection Cathedral, constructed in the 1460s, stands as the central religious monument within the town center.
The population of 26,398 residents maintains direct transportation links to Moscow through regular bus and rail connections from the central station.
The town earned recognition as a City of Military Glory in 2010 for its defense against German forces during World War II.
