Belozersk, Ancient settlement on Lake Beloye in Vologda Oblast, Russia.

Belozersk stands on the southern bank of Lake Beloye, featuring medieval stone churches and earthen fortification walls from the 16th century.

The settlement, first mentioned in 862, relocated from the northern shore to its current position after a severe plague epidemic in 1352.

The local museum preserves artifacts from different periods, displaying traditional crafts, religious items, and documents from the town's trading history.

Visitors reach Belozersk by regular bus services from Vologda or Cherepovets, with the journey from Vologda taking approximately four hours.

The town contains a rare system of preserved earthen ramparts measuring 30 meters wide and forming a complete ring around the historical center.
