#Cathedral of the Assumption at #Kotoroslnaya emb., 2/1
# Assumption Cathedral in Yaroslavl shines with glaring gold of its five domes and dazzles the eye with incredible whiteness of walls against the blue Volga skies.

#St Savior Monastery (Spaso-Preobrazhenskiy Muzhskoy Monastyr') at #Ploshchad' Bogoyavleniya, 25
# The monastery is surrounded by a thick 16th century, white-painted wall, complete with watchtowers and embattlements. Within these walls stand the magisterial churches, which, with their asymmetrically-ordered towers and beautifully decorated interiors, make for wonderful examples of traditional Russian sacral architecture. In addition to this there is a gatehouse church, with which the monastery's dungeons and treasury were connected.

#Epiphany Church (Tserkov' Bogoyavleniya) at #Ploshchad' Bogoyavleniya, 12
# This church, with its five domes, and traditional Russian sacral architecture, is a classic example of a medieval Russian church. However, the church has a separate clock-tower which was built in accordance with the sacral-architectural style of Muscovy in the years 1684–1693; this all goes to make the church one of the most noticeable examples of 17th-century architecture in the city. In addition to this, the beautiful fresco-work inside the church was carried out by local artists during the building of the church, and has remained, almost unchanged, to this day.
