the Volga River is especially lovely with the Cathedral of the Resurrection and
St.John’s Church looming on the horizon. At the end of the 16th century, Maria Nagaya, seventh wife of Ivan the

of its colorful past. Of special interest is the magnificent 13th-century Spassky Monastery
ensemble, a group of majestic 17th century cathedrals, an elegant rotunda and
remnants of an ancient trading center. Loveliest of all is the Church of Elijah
the Prophet, situated in the town’s central square. The frescoes on the walls
and vaulting inside the church constitute a veritable museum of old Russian
paintings. Goritsy is a tiny settlement seven kilometers from the Kirillo-Belozersky
