A bit of history
Under Prince Dmitry Donskoy there was based city fortification - the Kremlin, which later became the historic center of Zvenigorod and was named "Gorodok" . But Dmitri's son, Yuri Zvenigorodsky, was the most supportive of the city's development, he not only strengthened and expanded Gorodok, but also ordered the building of the Assumption Cathedral on its territory - One of the best examples of early Moscow architecture, which also survived until our days almost in its original form . The interior decoration of this cathedral is especially valuable because it is decorated with old frescoes of the 15th century, authorship of which belongs, according to one version, to the famous Russian icon painter Andrey Rublev .
Zvenigorod was experiencing a time of ups and downs, he courageously repulsed the attacks of the Tatar-Mongol yoke, staunchly endured the oppressive days of the great C Uta, but, nevertheless, he has not lost his wealth, but only in every way it multiplies. At one time the city prospered due to its successful location at the intersection of important trade routes. But already in the 18th century, with the reorientation of trade, the Zvenigorod economic life subsided.
But at the beginning of the century before last the city became on the way of development as a notable resort center. Here from all over the Moscow region representatives of noble and rich families gathered to be surrounded by magnificent nature and in the conditions of the most favorable climate to spend the summer and improve their health. It was then that wealthy merchants began to build their luxurious estates here, as well as a picturesque city embankment, which is an excellent place for an evening promenade.
Of course, Zvenigorod does not stand still, there have long been modern residential areas, but they are away from the historical center, which takes us to the unique atmosphere of the 19th century, where there is not even a hint of haste or fuss.
