allowed to see you again i welcome on this week's episode the must go out scene are in the back 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 so join me as we travel back in time and see what cultural attractions are off to get here the most crowd scene took an overnight train from the negro city station known as the free by the finish this quaint christian town is located around eight hundred kilometers from the russian capital. looking around the sea there is medieval houses some invite you condition but others walk along the cobbled lanes and witness the wonderful clock tower cathedrals and various architecture the medieval town itself on. the bridge is a true cross cultural point of the caribbean swedish finnish and russian traditions and all of them can be traced in the town's heritage customs shape and history it

was founded in the end of the thirteenth century during the crusades by one of the swedish martial clips and as a result of the russians for this was in the seventeenth century and services can join the range into the great treaty was signed and people had become a part of russia finland which was historically pass' sweden and became your thomas grand duchy state 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 rebirth in the u.s.s.r. as a railway and seaport terminal and as a cultural and tourist center increased. the birth is very beautiful. much history a beautiful nature and time 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 its park its own streets and lanes and its atmosphere in general all the. old buildings the old castle and everything that has the improvements to the finished history yes and i think it's also a very emotional moment to be here the proximity to finland means that many of the names of very sharp stars banks mistral is operating finnish and russian market square is a central popular tourist spot of various restaurants markets which is play area it's difficult to get lost in the back of the population of around eighty thousand it's one of russia's smaller cities and at the tocantins of this cobbled area is a rather interesting focal point the architecture is certainly different here vbac than another russians ounds it feels more european now that's how behind us that

was built in the fifteenth century by order of king good stuff of sweden or italy part of the old city in the eighteenth century locals nicknamed it that it katherina in that in reference to the rather overweight empress of the. people can be so cruel. our next location is the hems harsh museum opened in two thousand and ten and it's an offshoot of the famous hematomas museum in st petersburg all of the several camera representations of the museum in russia and around the world. the exhibition center opened in two thousand and eight and already it's now one of the may cultural attractions in the area fire lots of cultures from all over the world over present c.m. and the exposition changes every six months a surprise every time you visit. the display here today is called east or west the history of islamic world takes edition consists of several parts and as

a cheapskate cultural interaction of the muslim world with other regions including europe china india and russia. i think on display back to the seventh century various silver and bronze tableware clothes jewelry and weapons his congressional authority 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 veba art school hematologist art of 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 in russia full of e-books main squares is called red square although the name of this place comes from the terrifying

events originally it was called the square of the red well in the sixteenth century the spring was located here and so many public 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 brown is long gone and now it's spot a monument to lenin constructed in the one nine hundred fifty s. located. really on the clock tower was built in the fifteenth century and originally it was the belfry hopi drugs cathedral which was later destroyed it was then the cop tower later with the top a clock was placed on it. the structure suffered from fires many times and was bad to the ground on several occasions but it was always restored towards the end of the eighteenth century and for scott from the great presented feeble with a huge bell as a gift which was placed on the building which became a fire lookout tower as well catherine's gift comes in that's how to this day and you can still witness bringing. unlike many historical buildings which were built

by the swedes and feed birds and schools 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 seven hundred thirty during the reign of impress on a piano if not a loss of every twenty years proposed occasion featured numerous structures made of stone but only two gates of the preserves still nowadays live in areas still used as a connector moved between cheap parts of the city. so i thought a location now in the us leaned the back stands in the middle of a straight on a small rocky islands. thousand seven hundred metres long and two hundred metres wide the fortress was built in the year twelve ninety three and over the centuries is witnessed everything from battles celebrations and asked today will we get to take part in another event that includes lots of swords costumes and all. the medieval attraction today it is called the knights tournament he says present pray archery fighting is one of the main and he will advance here in favor of the sheer

amount of battle between german and french knights is one of the highlights the specifically brings a large amount of spectators. the festival also features a concert of folk music dance and craft for people by various items such as wooden utensils clothing a medieval memorabilia full of noise laughter and wonderful costumes it's like it's been transported back in time. since a connection our 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's also educational every year we're going to ask conferences and lectures on a particular subject from the mean the ages attractions and officer monuments of the boat a closely connected with its history the unique scenery of the castle provides the

same with an exceptional opportunity and housing various concerts and festivals and how to fight we are the i think it is the club we reckon struck the our tourists from the thirteenth fourteenth century in europe and that's why this is the aerial first of all we take part any early and we have our tournaments and that of course we would show the public how to do this that's fun and we just love some part 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 culmination of long preparations for the event. for several months before first of all 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 with next wednesday that. looks played real from the way down with obama it's a wonder that the movie soul. 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 it right in the center not past. seven centuries because it was reconstructed several times and acquired additional buildings in fact now it's the only cars 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 energetic amongst us a trip to the top is well worth a visit making up the just she said cases it's best not to count the number of stamps. 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 an eighty ninety one 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 power rama you can see the whole region with all its sites both old and new living side by side in knots but the back is a fusion of many political social and cultural influences. but now we have a force of us 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 beetle city of people to learn from me and the rest the crew from the dizzying heights of the cost of tower here by. clever.
