Yaroslav's Court, Medieval palace complex in Veliky Novgorod, Russia
The Yaroslav's Court contains multiple stone churches, the Saint Nicholas Cathedral, and the remains of a historic marketplace along the Volkhov River.
Prince Yaroslav the Wise established this complex between 988 and 1015, which served as the center of civic assemblies and princely governance in Novgorod.
The site includes the Saint Nicholas Cathedral from 1136, which represents the second oldest preserved structure in Novgorod after Saint Sophia Cathedral.
The central location near the Volkhov River provides direct access to the marketplace arcade and several medieval churches that demonstrate Novgorod's architectural heritage.
The marketplace contained 42 specialized shop rows during the 16th century, where merchants traded specific goods including bread, fish, leather, and silver items.
