Hi, I'm Cili!

I live in Kostroma.


It's one of the oldest cities in Russia, founded in the early 12th century.

It is a city of majestic golden churches and temples. Ancient architecture does not concede to the best tourist cities in the world, the Old Gostiny Dvor (Russian indoor market) is still full of life.

 

 

Kostroma is considered to be the birthplace of the latest Russian royal dynasty - the Romanovs, who were deposed by the 1917 revolution. But from the walls of the Ipatievsky Monastery the future tsar, the young Mikhail Romanov, was called to Russian throne in 1613.





Now the Ipatievsky Monastery is a popular place for Russian tourists, the pearl of the Golden Ring of Russia.

Kostroma is located on the largest European river - the Volga.

 

 

 

In addition, Kostroma has the only in Russia elk farm. There you can take the photo with the animals, feed them and buy souvenirs. Children are always full of delight with the visit of this amazing place.
