. and the looming of this world markets are in the are in for a second day of decline in a row with american and asian stocks leading the slump a gloomy picture prodding fears of a double dip recession. next takes you to the picture perfect town with us right from the middle ages. hello good to see you again and welcome on this week's episode the must go out scene are in the back door of the largest and most people towns of the leningrad region and russia once owned by sweden and then finland today it still poseurs the

great medieval look of a northern european town said to me as we travel back in time and see what cultural attractions are on offer to get him a scout team took an overnight train from the negress station known as be prepared to finish this quaint recent town is located around eight hundred kilometers from the russian capital. looking around to see barry's medieval houses some in value condition but others walk along the cobbled lanes and witness the wonderful clock tower cathedrals and various architecture the medieval town stuff on. the back is a true cross cultural point because really in swedish finnish and russian traditions and all of them can be traced in the town's heritage customs shape and history leave it was founded in the end of the thirteenth century during the crusades by order of the swedish marshal collapse and as a result of the russians for this was in the seventeenth century and citizens and during the reign of peter the great a treaty was signed the people had become

a part of russia finland which was historically pass' sweden to make a mule thomas crown judge she stayed within the russian empire the veba being on its territory. in one thousand forty four it was pronounced as a city in the u.s.s.r. by the one nine hundred fifty s. industrial enterprises where restored in vivo a multi-story residential and office buildings were constructed. the role of the berg in the u.s.s.r. as a runaway and seaports terminal and as a cultural and tourist center increased. the burkas very beautiful. much history a beautiful nature and farm and perfect question right so when you get asked a very serious first time in feedback we can hear often and like it a lot if used different from other russian towns it's very european and we enjoy it's part it's streets in lanes and its atmosphere in general all the. old

buildings the old consul and everything that has importance to the finished history is and i think it's also a very emotional moment to be here because the mr dylan means that many of the names of their shops bars banks mistruths operation fish and russian market square is a central popular tourist spots with various restaurants markets achieves play area it's difficult to get lost in people like the population of around eighty thousand it's one of the smaller cities and at the top cannes of the scribbled area is a rather interesting focal point the architecture is certainly different here via back then another russians ounds it feels more european now that our behind us that was built in the fifteenth century by order of king good stuff of sweden are really part of the old city in the eighteenth century locals nicknamed it that i think there in that in reference to the rather overweight empress of the. people can be

so cruel. alex location is the hermitage museum opened in two thousand and ten and it's an offshoot of the famous have a choice museum in st petersburg all of the several climate representations of the museum in russia and around the world. the exhibition center opened painted two thousand and ten and already it's now one of the main cultural attractions in the area fine arts and cultures from all over the world of represent. and the exposition changes every six months a surprise every time we visit. the display here today is called easter mass the history of the islamic world the exhibition consists of several parts to kate's cultural interaction of the muslim world with other regions including your china india and russia. i think on the splayed a patch of the seventh century and includes various silver and bronze tableware clothes jewelry and weapons his congressional me more than half of adult visitors

to our museum are tourists from finland most of them are deeply impressed with their exposition as a display from the hermitage collection can rarely be seen anywhere in the world and because there are so many finnish tourists we decided that all information in our museum should be provided in three languages russian english and finish. the building is also shared with a view the art school hematologist art a story instead of elections on the history of the world's art to people of all ages. so what other historical sites are that in the book as in many cities and russia one of the bugs main squares this code red square although the name of this case comes from rather terrifying events originally it was called the square of the red well in the sixteenth century a spring was located here and so many public executions took place next to it the legend has it that the underground horses in the area became red with blood of course the brown is long gone and now in a spot

a monument to lenin constructed in the one nine hundred fifty s. locators. moving on the clock tower was built in the fifteenth century and originally it was the belfry of the plugs cathedral which was later destroyed it is the same the cops hour later but atop a clock was placed on it. a structure something from fire as many times it was bad to the ground on several occasions but it was always restored towards the end of the eighteenth century empress catherine the great present to be buried with a huge palace a gift which is placed on the building which became a fire lookout tower as well catherine's gift cards and that's how to this day he can still witness bringing. among many historical buildings which were built by the swedes and the church and it's cool to be cations is an architectural monument they see by the times when the town became a part of russia. the construction of the past in started in seven hundred thirty during the reign of empress on a year on the field and also for over twenty years before the cation featured

numerous structures made of stone but only two gates have been preserved till now days living area is still used as a connecting research between cheap cost of the city. so our final location now and the last thing be back stands in the middle of a stripe on a small rocky islands one thing. thousand seven hundred metres long and two hundred meters wide the fortress was built in the year twelve ninety three and over the centuries is witnessed everything from battles celebrations and asked to today way this is a part in another event that includes lots of souls costumes and. a medieval attraction today is called the knights tournament he says beza pray archery suit fighting is one of the main and he will have things here in favor of the sheer amount battle between german and french knights is one of the highlights this specifically brings a large amount of spectators. the festival also features

a concert of food music dance and the craft fair he can buy various items such as with utensils clothing a medieval memorabilia full of noise laughter and wonderful costumes it's like he's been transported back in time. since again there's an hour festival differs from all other similar events not only because it's held in an authentic medieval castle but also because it features not only battle installations but it also indications every year we're going to ask conferences and lectures on a particular subject from the mean to the ages attractions and dr tramon is a few very closely connected with his history the unique scenery of the castle provides the museum with an exceptional opportunity in housing various concerts for the first of those how to fetes we are the i think it is the club we reckon struck the our tourists are from the thirteenth fourteenth century endure and that's why this is the aerial first of all we take part any early and we have our tournaments

and of course we would show the public how to do this that's fun and we just love something of sport at the same time you're dressed so nicely and it's great people from all over russia come to the festival and for them it's a culmination of long preparations for the event. for several months before the civil they not only get the handmade costumes ready but also study various store documents on the exact subjects of the period to which the festival is dedicated even see a sword fight where next wednesday. looks fade real from the way down with mama it's a wonder that to move us all. there are various activities you can try house here i'm trying my hand at archery after this before although it has taken a few years and here we go and find the right in the center not past. seven centuries because it was reconstructed several times required

additional buildings in fact now it's the only council in russia designed in the european tradition. that's how it is the focal point is really one of the symbols of the region. for the and it's a come on says a trip to the top is well worth a visit making up the dusty sad cases it's best not to count the number of snaps. in the eight hundred fifty s. as a result of fireworks celebrating the opening of a nearby major canal because it was seriously damaged by fire after the restoration eighty nine she wants to eighty ninety eight issue in the current form we see here today. the views from the top are just incredible for the three hundred sixty pound a rama you can see the whole region with all its sites both old and new living side by side i'm not but the berg is a fusion of many political social and cultural influences.

but there we have it unfortunately that's that's all we have on this week's program i'll see you get of the same time next week for more exploration of the beatle city of people to learn from me and the rest of the crew from the dizzying heights of a castle tower here by. the man lose lose. lose
