Staritsa, Historic riverbank settlement in Tver Oblast, Russia
Located 77 kilometers from Tver, Staritsa extends along both sides of the Volga River at an elevation of 175 meters above sea level.
Founded in 1297 as Gorodok, the settlement received its current name Staritsa in the 15th century and became part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1485.
The Staritsky Monastery, dating from the 16th century, contains religious artifacts and represents the architectural traditions of medieval Russian religious buildings.
The town maintains regular transport connections to Tver through a network of roads and railways, making it accessible for visitors from major Russian cities.
Limestone quarrying, active since the 13th century in Staritsa, influenced the construction methods and appearance of many local buildings in the region.
