Four blue domes cap the cathedral of this striking, walled-in Russian monastery dating back to the 12th century.
Shaped like a bell and surrounded by 128 bronze figures, this monument to Russia's millennium honors the politicians and other people who most contributed to the development of the country between 862 and 1862.
One of the oldest stone buildings in Russia, this magnificent cathedral is considered to be the symbol of the city, and was once the hiding place for Novgorod's treasury.
Also known as the Chamber of Facets, this is the only Gothic style building in the Detinets, once used for court sessions and now housing a museum with arts and crafts and an interesting icon collection.
Located inside the Detinets, this museum contains an excellent collection of early icon masterpieces from the 11th to 17th centuries, wood crafts and birch bark manuscripts.
This church is most notable for the frescoes inside which were painted by Feofan Grek, one of Russia's most celebrated icon artists.
A part of the Moscow kingdom in the 17th century, the city of Novgorod had begun to adopt Moscows architectural style, typified by this cathedral.
You won't find a brook here, as it was filled in, but be sure to check out the frescoes inside this very simple and beautiful 14th-century church.
Originally built in the 14th century, this small, two-story church with five decorative domes was fully rebuilt in the 19th century and is the only surviving building in the Monastery of the Holy Spirit.
Dating back to 1313, this church was once part of a monastery but is now a separate building.
Exemplifying 15th-century Novgorodian architecture, with differing types of facades, this 1406 church is made of brick and limestone.
Various architectural masterpieces are conveniently located all in one place inside this court, which was the economic and political center of Novgorod in ancient times.
This large, five-domed cathedral, dating back to 1113, is the oldest building in Yaroslav's Court.
