Kremlin of Pereslavl-Zalessky
Kremlin of Pereslavl-Zalessky, Medieval defensive fortress in Pereslavl-Zalessky, Russia.
The walls of the Kremlin stretch for 2.5 kilometers around the historic center, enclosing the Savior's Cathedral and administrative structures within its fortifications.
Prince Yuri Dolgoruky established this fortress in 1152 as part of his strategy to protect the northern territories of ancient Rus from external threats.
The Kremlin houses the Cathedral of the Transfiguration, one of Russia's earliest limestone churches, demonstrating the architectural techniques of medieval Russian builders.
Visitors can walk along the preserved earthen ramparts that reach heights of 10-12 meters, offering views of Lake Pleshcheyevo and the surrounding landscape.
The fortress holds a naval artifact collection from Peter the Great's training fleet, which he stationed on Lake Pleshcheyevo in the late 17th century.
