Pereslavl-Zalessky, Ancient town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia
Pereslavl-Zalessky extends along the southeastern shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo, where the Trubezh River flows into its waters at an elevation of 142 meters.
The city was established in 1152 by George I of Vladimir as a strategic settlement, serving as the capital of Zalesye until its incorporation into Moscow in 1302.
The Red Square area contains multiple religious structures, including the white stone Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral from 1152 and several monasteries with traditional Russian architecture.
Regular bus connections operate between Moscow and Pereslavl-Zalessky, with departures from Shelkovskoe shosse station four times daily for the 140-kilometer journey.
Peter the Great initiated the Russian naval tradition on Lake Pleshcheyevo between 1688 and 1693, constructing a flotilla of 100 training vessels for maritime education.
