🇷🇺 Some foreign tourists may be confused by the fact that there are two Rostovs in Russia. The regional center Rostov-on-Don has an older namesake.

Rostov Veliky, or Rostov the Great, a small city 200 km from Moscow, was founded more than 1000 years ago. It is called the cradle of Russian architecture and an open-air museum. First mentioned in chronicles in 862, Rostov was one of the first principalities of Ancient Rus'.

📸 The spirit of antiquity reigns in the streets of Rostov. Cafes serve traditional pancakes, kurniks, rasstegai and sbiten, and museums tell about the Frog Princess and the bogatyrs. A very atmospheric place!
