scene are in the back door of the largest and most beautiful 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 so join me as we travel back in time and see what cultural attractions are on offer to get here the most grouting took an overnight train from the rescue station known as be prepared to finish this quaint christian town is located around eight hundred kilometers from the russian capital. looking around the sea dairies medieval houses some invalid condition that others walk along the cobbled lanes and witness the wonderful clock tower cathedrals and there is architecture the medieval town the stuff on. the back is a true cross cultural plains of the caribbean swedish finnish and russian traditions and all of them can be traced in the towns heritage customs shape and history did it was founded in the end of the thirteenth century during the crusades by one of the sweetest marshall clips and as

a result of the russians for this was in the seventeenth century and citizens enjoying the reign of peter the great a treaty was signed and peter had become a part of russia finland which was historically pass' sweden then became bill thomas grand duchy state within the russian empire the fever being on its territory . in one thousand forty four it was pronounced as a city in the u.s.s.r. by the nineteen fifties 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 railway and seaport terminal and as a cultural and tourist center increased. people work is very beautiful. much history of beautiful nature and fire meant perfect question right so when you get asked a very serious first time and from back here often and like it a lot if you're different from other russian towns it's very european and we enjoy

it's part it's on streets in lanes and its atmosphere in general all the. old buildings the old castle and everything that has importance to the finished history yes and i think it's also a very emotional moment to be here in tulsa mr finland means that many of the names of their shops bars banks mistral is a place in finnish and russian market square is a central popular tourist spot with various restaurants markets a children's play area it's difficult to get lost and be back with a population of around eighty thousand it's one of the smaller cities and at the top cannes of this couple the area is a rather interesting focal point the architecture is certainly different here v. back then another russians ounds it feels more european now that's how behind this that was built in the fifteenth century by order of king good stuff of sweden or italy part of the old city war in the eighteenth century locals nicknamed it the

fact. that in reference to the rather overweight empress of the. people can be so cruel. our next location is the hermitage museum opened in two thousand and ten and it's an offshoot of the famous hematomas museum in st petersburg all of the several climate representations of the museum in russia and around the world. the exhibition center opened in two thousand and ten and already it's now one of the may cultural attractions in the area file arts and culture is from all over the world of representatives and the exposition changes every six months a surprise every time you visit. the display here today is called east the west the history of the islamic world the exhibition consists of several hearts and his age to pace cultural interaction of the muslim world with other regions touring europe china india russia. i think on display back to the seventh century and

include various silver and bronze tableware clothes jewelry and weapons of his congressionally more than half of adult visitors to our museum are tourists from finland those who are deeply impressed with a rationalization as a display from the hermitage collection can rarely be seen anywhere in the world 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 the beaver art school the hematologist art historian still 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 in russia one of the banks main squares this code red square although the name of this place comes from rather terrifying events originally it was called the square of the red well in the sixteenth century a sprain was located here and so many of the executions took place next to it the

legend has it that the underground was has in the area became red with blood of course the belt is long gone and now it's spot a monument to lenin constructed in the one nine hundred fifty s. locators. moving all around the clock tower was built in the fifteenth century and originally it was the belfry of feedbacks cathedral which was later destroyed it was then the cops hour later but atop a clock was placed on it. a structure something from fire as many times it was burned to the ground on several occasions but it was always restored towards the end of the eighteenth century and prescott from the great present to be buried with a huge bell as a gift which is placed on a building which became a fire lookout tower as well catherine's gift comes in the town to this day we can still witness bringing. unlike many historical buildings which were built by the swedes and the bird and its fields vacations is an architectural monument dating back to the times when the town became a part of russia. the construction of the bastion started in seventeen thirty

during the reign of the empress on a dram of not and also for over twenty years the first occasion featured numerous structures made of stone the only two gates in preserves till now days living area is still used as a connector moved between cheap parts of the city. so our final location now in the costly in the back stands in the middle of a strike on a small rocky islands. thousand seven hundred metres long and two hundred meters wide the thoughtless is built in the year twelve months of rain over the centuries has witnessed everything from battles celebrations and asked to they always it's a party in another event that includes lots of souls costumes and. the medieval attraction today is called the knights tournament he says does a great archery seal fighting is one of the main he will add things here and fever this year a mock battle between german and french knights is one of highlights the specifically

prince of knowledge mountain spritz faces. the possible features of the culture of folk music dance and the craft perhaps he can buy various items such as wooden utensils clothing a medieval memorabilia full of noise laughter and wonderful costumes it's like he's been transported back in time. since a connection out of trustable 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's also educational every year we're going to is conferences and lectures on a particular subject from the middle ages traditions and architectural monuments of a very closely connected with its history the unique scenery of her castle provides the museum with an exceptional opportunity in housing various concerts for exams to those out to fetes we are the i think it is the club we reckon struck the our

tourists from the thirteen fourteen same train in europe 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're just something of sport at the same time you're dressed so nicely and it's it's great people from all over russia come to the festival and for them it's a collation among preparations for the event. for several months before the civil they not only get the handmade costumes ready to study various store documents on the exact subject areas to which the festival is dedicated even see a sword fight next month. and looks fade in real time they way down with obama 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 i have the list before although it has taken a few years and here we go and find the right in the spencer
