Yaroslavl UNESCO world heritage sites

Cathedral of the Assumption at Kotoroslnaya emb., 2/1
Close by the 1642 Church of Maria (Успенский собор) stood until its demolition in 1937, however, since 2004 the church was under reconstruction and was finally opened on 12 September 2010 by Patriarch of Moscow Kirill.
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.
Chapel of Alexander Nevsky at Ulitsa Andropova, 8
The chapel features intricate brickwork and a tent-roofed belfry. The design is typical of the Russian architecture of the late XVII century.
Vlasyevskaya / Znamenskaya Tower With The Church at Ploshchad' Volkova, 2А
Vlasievskaya Tower is one of only two towers which are all that remain of the 16th-century fortified wall which once surrounded the historical centre.
Volkov Theater (Dramaticheskiy Teatr Im. F.g.volkova) at Ploshchad' Volkova, 1
The Volkov Theater still has a reputation for being one of Russia's most pioneering dramatic institutes and is considered, among the Russian acting community, to be one of the most prestigious playhouses in which to perform.
