Cathedral Square

Cathedral Square in Kolomna is a historic center dominated by the Assumption Cathedral, built in 1672–1682. In the northern part of the square, next to the Assumption Bell Tower, a bronze monument to Cyril and Methodius is installed, where Methodius holds the Holy Scripture, and Cyril holds a scroll with the Russian alphabet against the background of an Orthodox cross. To the north of the cathedral stands the Tikhvin Church in the Russian style, and around the square are located the Resurrection Church, the Church of St. Nicholas the Guest, and the St. Sergius Church. From the square, a distant view opens to the Bobrenev Monastery, and on the southern side rises the gate bell tower of the New Golutvin Monastery in the Empire style.
