Prophet Elijah's Church on Ivan’s Hill

Beautiful landscape of Suzdal during fall season, with the church of St. Elijah (Ilya) The Prophet, built in 1744 on Ivan’s hill at the curve of the Kamenka River. The church was recently repainted (in September 2014) with white and red colors. In the small Russian fairy-tale town of Suzdal there are dozens of attractive churches, but this one is the most noticeable, and can be seen from many sides the city, the gem of the Golden Ring of Russia. This picture was taken from Kremlevskaya street, not far from Trade Rows. At the right of the church you will notice an old-style Russian timber house, which contains a good restaurant called «Kvasnaya Izba».
