This city is somewhat different from the typical cities of the country. First, it is one of the oldest. And secondly, there is always literally in the air the power and influence of Orthodox culture was soaring, and therefore they chose the city as the capital of the metropolis of Ryazan. But even this does not distinguish Ryazan: the architecture there is preserved almost in its original form and everywhere the facades of houses with characteristic features of the XV century.
What to see in Ryazan: walks in museums
In any city there are always local history or art museums. This city was no exception. Art Museum named after Pozvostin in Ryazan is considered a real treasure. As it often happens, the beginning of the collection collection was completely based on the enthusiasm of local art connoisseurs. After the first exhibition, other intellectuals joined their colleagues and the exhibition gradually grew. And after the death of the famous artist Pozochastin, his daughters handed over the entire legacy of his father to the museum's fund. Today the Ryazan Art Museum stores around 12 thousand works of various kinds and genres within its walls. There you will find an exposition dedicated to Russian applied art, where there is a lot of porcelain and glass. There are exhibitions with paintings, furniture and works of masters: lace, ceramics, embroidery and much more.

The Kremlin Museum in Ryazan was rebuilt more than once. In a huge complex, the Assumption Cathedral and the Nativity Cathedral coexist peacefully with the relics of St. Basil of Ryazan. In the late 60's, on the basis of an existing ensemble of architectural monuments, it was possible to create a museum-preserve. The Kremlin is just what is really worth seeing in Ryazan to explore the city and the region in general.

Many holy objects were collected in the walls of the St. John the Theological Monastery . It is located about 5 km from Ryazan. The sacred spring, which from the very beginning of the foundation of the temple was considered miraculous, was also very close to it.
