Plyos, Historical town in Ivanovo Oblast, Russia
Plyos extends along the right bank of the Volga River, featuring traditional wooden houses, stone churches, and multiple museums across different elevation levels.
Prince Vasily the First established Plyos as a defensive fortress in 1410 to protect Moscow and neighboring settlements from potential invasions along the Volga River.
