The view from a big park in historical center of the ancient Russian city of Vladimir on the beautiful architectural ensemble with a white-stone Assumption Cathedral (Rus: Uspensky Sobor) and standing behind tall bell tower with golden spire. The magnificent five-dome cathedral was designed as a sepulcher of grand princes and was dedicated to the holy icon of Vladimir Theotokos, which had been brought as a gift to the city by Andrew the Pious. It was constructed in 1158-1161 by Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky, but was rebuilt and expanded by Prince Vsevolod “The Big Nest” in 1185-1189 after its walls were damaged by fire. In 1810 a lofty bell-tower in the neoclassical style was added to the architectural ensemble.
