St. John the Baptist Church in Yaroslavl
St. John the Baptist Church in Yaroslavl, Orthodox church in Tolchkovo district, Yaroslavl, Russia
The church features fifteen gilded domes rising above the main structure, decorated with ornamental brickwork and multicolored ceramic tiles across its exterior walls.
Local leather craftsmen funded the construction of this religious building between 1671 and 1687 on the site of a former convent destroyed by Polish forces.
The interior walls display 500 religious paintings created by local artists in 1694, depicting biblical scenes with figures wearing traditional Russian garments.
Located at 69 Zakotorosl'naya Embankment, the church opens daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM with guided tours available through the Yaroslavl Museum Reserve.
The church appears on the reverse side of the Russian 1000 ruble banknote, representing the architectural excellence of the Yaroslavl school of construction.
