Pskov Essentials

Pskov is one of Russia's oldest cities, defined by its distinctive school of medieval architecture and formidable fortifications. This selection centers on the Pskov Krom (Kremlin), a massive limestone citadel housing the 17th-century Trinity Cathedral. The list highlights several UNESCO-listed white-stone churches from the 12th to 16th centuries, known for their unique belfries and minimalist design. Key sites include the frescoed Mirozhsky Monastery, the archaeological foundations of Dovmontov Gorod, and massive defensive towers that once protected the city's western borders.
