We invite you to visit one of the most ancient and picturesque places in the southern part of Moscow — Kolomenskoye. Kolomenskoye is the former royal estate. During our tour to Kolomenskoye we will go to the palace which was built during the reign of Tsar Alexey Mikhaylovich. It turned Kolomenskoye Palace into the most important of all Imperial residences, conceding only to the Kremlin. Since the 15th century, Kolomenskoye served as the summer residence of grand dukes of Moscow and the Russian tsars. That’s why the rich architectural heritage was created here. The most crucial sight is Church of the Ascension which is included in the list of monuments of the world heritage of UNESCO. There are also three more architectural monuments which are located close to the church: Bell tower of St. George (16th XVI), Water tower (17 XVII). And Hunting pavilion (19 XIX). In 1667 one more wooden palace was ordered to built. The best masters of Russia and handicraftsmen worked on creating the masterpiece. Foreign ambassadors, patriarchy and the Russian aristocracy were frequent guests in Kolomenskoye. In the museum there are more than two thousand Russian patterns of the 15-17th centuries, wooden and stone fragments, the examples of fragments of lost constructions and Moscow historical objects. In distant end of the park is situated one of the most popular sights — the reconstructed palace of Tsar Alexey, a fine example of the Russian architecture of the 17th century. Today Kolomenskoye is one of the most popular parks for locals. There are always various holidays and festivals held in the park.
