Starocherkasskaya, Cossack village on Don River, Russia
The settlement spans 180 hectares along the Don River bank, featuring traditional wooden houses, stone churches, and fortification remnants from past centuries.
The village served as the capital of Don Cossacks until 1805, when frequent floods prompted authorities to relocate the administrative center to Novocherkassk.
The Starocherkassk Museum Reserve contains forty historical monuments, including the Resurrection Cathedral with its wooden iconostasis from the early 18th century.
Visitors can reach Starocherkasskaya by boat from Rostov-on-Don during summer months or by road throughout the year via the Aksai district.
The cathedral holds metal chains near its entrance that reportedly restrained Cossack leader Stepan Razin before his execution in the 17th century.
