Alexandrov, Historical capital city in Vladimir Oblast, Russia

The municipality spreads across both banks of the Seraya River, featuring medieval stone buildings and religious structures within its central district.

From December 1564 to February 1565, Aleksandrov functioned as the capital of Russia during the reign of Tsar Ivan IV.

The Aleksandrov Kremlin contains multiple 16th-century churches, including the Trinity Cathedral where medieval manuscripts and religious texts were created.

The city connects to Moscow through regular train services on the Moscow-Yaroslavl railway line, with a journey time of approximately two hours.

The local museum exhibits original metalwork items from the 16th century, including bells manufactured in the former royal foundry.
