Pereslavl is part of the Golden Ring of Russia. Pereslavl was included in the list of cities on this tourist route by Yuri Alexandrovich Bychkov, who invented the Golden Ring. In 2009, the city was visited by 290 thousand people, 91% of whom came here on a tour. At the same time, 2% of tourists (6 thousand people) were foreigners.
The city was founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky as the future capital of North-Eastern Russia.
City ramparts of Pereslavl-Zalessky
The prince founded on a swampy plain a huge city by the standards of that time with a rampart length of about 2.5 km . There were no cities larger than Pereslavl in North-Eastern Russia. Only Vladimir is comparable with it (the perimeter of the fortifications of Monomakhov, or Pecherny, the city is also about 2.5 km). The perimeter of the fortifications of Yuryev-Polsky is less - 2 km, in Suzdal it is even less - 1.4 km. In Dmitrov (founded a little later than Pereslavl - in 1154), Yaroslavl (Chopped City) and Przemysl of Moscow - approx. 1 km, in Zvenigorod and Moscow (fortress of 1156) - about 800 m. Pereslavl-Zalessky was a very large city and by the standards of all Russia. Only Kiev (the perimeter of the fortifications of the city of Yaroslav at that time was about 3.5 km) and Smolensk (the city of Rostislav was also about 3.5 km) were larger than it. The perimeter of the fortifications of Novgorod and the “fortification” of Staraya Ryazan is about 1.4 km
The original name - Pereyaslavl - the city received in honor of the more ancient city - Pereyaslavl-Russian (today's Pereyaslav on the territory of Ukraine), which, in turn, was founded and named so by Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich. The perimeter of the fortifications of Pereyaslavl-Russian was much smaller than the city of Dolgoruky - about 1.5 km.
Founded by Yuri Dolgoruky, the city was located behind the forests in Zalesye - the area of ​​\u200b\u200bfields and agriculture; therefore, an additional definition was added to the name of the city: Pereyaslavl-Zalessky. Since the 15th century, the pronunciation has changed to Pereslavl-Zalessky.
After the death of Yuri Dolgoruky, Pereslavl-Zalessky lost the functions of the capital, and its development stopped. However, the city remained one of the most important destinies. Around 1220, Prince Alexander Nevsky was born in it.
In the center of the city, during the security archaeological research in 2016, a mass grave of people was discovered. The similarity with the mass graves in Yaroslavl indicates, perhaps, that they died during the raid of the Tatars in 1238.
Walls of the Goritsky Monastery
In the years 1276-1294 (with a break), Dmitry Alexandrovich Pereyaslavsky, the son of Alexander Nevsky, who reigned in Pereslavl, was the Grand Duke of Vladimir, although his residence was still in Pereslavl. Thus, at this time, Pereslavl-Zalessky again became the actual capital of North-Eastern Russia[17]. In 1280, a council was held in Pereyaslavl with the participation of northern Russian bishops (Archbishop Clement of Novgorod, Bishop Ignatius of Rostov and Bishop Theodore of Vladimir), Metropolitan Cyril III, who died there, and Grand Duke Dmitry Alexandrovich Pereyaslavsky. In 1302, after the death of Prince Ivan Dmitrievich, the city, according to his will, went to the Moscow principality. Grand Duke Andrei Alexandrovich (Gorodetsky) tried to annex Pereyaslavl to his possessions, but the letter of the Horde Khan in 1303 confirmed the rights of the Moscow princes. In 1304, in the battle of Pereslavl-Zalessky, the united Moscow-Pereslavl army completely defeated the Tver detachment that besieged the city under the command of the boyar Akinf.
In 1238 (after a five-day siege), 1252, 1281, 1282, 1294 (the city was burned down by the Yaroslavl prince Fyodor Cherny), 1382, 1408 and 1419 the city was taken and plundered by the Horde. In 1372, the city settlement was burnt down by a raid of the prince of Trok, Keistut. Starting from 1302, it was ruled by Moscow governors, and sometimes it was given out for feeding to alien princes. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Pereslavl was the patrimony of the princes of Moscow and was obliged to deliver fish to the court, which was reflected in the coat of arms of the city.
