Easy to find in the middle of town with a tower (costs but not much... and mid your head on the way up) with a nice river beside it and nice grounds and old architecture.

We could admire only its exterior - from the kremlin square and looking down from an adjacent belltower (therefrom it's much more fascinating). Standing in front of it we listened perplexed to the run on the mouth of our guide who was seriously telling us a story 'bout a brick falling on Ivan the Terrible's head. It never occured to her that even if a half-brick had fallen on the regal skull from the cathedral's ceilings (average height there is about thirty meters) it would have cracked it in two (maybe it would have been a better twist of Russia's history?). Long live fake news! That rubbish didn't spoil the impression though. Toke another look at this masterpiece from the place Volodga was founded. It's behind the park on the Volodga river embankment, not more than a half-an-hour stroll. Go there, you won't regret it, really.
