A soulful tour of the main Orthodox shrines of Nizhny Novgorod. You will get acquainted with the masterpieces of temple architecture and monastic ensembles of the city.
The picturesque high banks of the Oka and Volga rivers, decorated with green embankments, are literally dotted with colorful domes with crosses rising up. "Look, look, how good it is! Here it is, Father, the Lower One! That's what he is, gods! Churches, look at you, they seem to be flying," Gorky's grandmother exclaimed as they approached Nizhny Novgorod on a motor ship.
This striking view was made possible due to the fact that the historical center of Nizhny Novgorod has largely preserved the ancient temple buildings.
