  This church and the surrounding ones and related buildings are a very interesting collection and well worth the visit if you have the opportunity.

  Это российская история. Комплекс того, что осталось от кремля, представляет интерес. Стоит осмотреть ближние монастыри и храмы. А потом - в Мышкин!

  The blue onion-domed and red Church of Prince Dmitry the Martyr was built in the 1690s and while not overly impressive from the construction standpoint, it does have a significant place in the history books. While cruising into Uglich from St Pete, this is essentially the first landmark that you will see. The town appears to be quite quaint and representative of "real" Russia today, being so close to Moscow, but so far away. There is clearly a tourist sentiment here as there are double rows of vendor shops lining the walkway from the docks to the church and town. Most of this "stuff" is pre-manufactured wares, but if you are careful, you can find some artisan goods that are clearly different from the rest. Please be careful with this as a highly qualified travel agent traveling with us went INTO the bank, to exchange U.S. dollars for Rubles and was handed two COUNTERFEIT 1000 Ruble bills........Really, IN a bank? What you need to know is that the counterfeit bills lack the reflective foil and instead, that area of the bill is essentially dark/black. An unsuspecting tourist would not know the difference and she did not find out until she attempted to spend one.

  В храм несколько раз попадала шаровая молния, последний раз уже в 2000-ых. Экскурсовод, которая нас сопровождала, была внутри храма, когда это случилось. Очень впечатлила эта история. Храм был частично разрушен молнией, после чего восстанавливался. Внутри храма (кстати, недействующего) - знаменитый ссыльный колокол, в который можно позвонить во время экскурсии. У угличан есть поверье, что звон колокола-страдальца исполняет самые заветные желания.

  It is said that in 1591, the 10-year-old son of Ivan the Terrible, Dmitry, was murdered on this spot (supposedly by the Tsar's chief advisor, Boris Godunov). As Dmitry was the last scion of the ancient Rurik dynasty, his death precipitated the dynastic and political crisis known as the Time of Troubles. To honor the boy, the Romanov tsars build this church in 1690 and turned the town of Uglich into a place of pilgrimage. Uglich has the best souvenir shopping of all the towns we stopped at along the Volga River, and I wish I had bought more there than waiting until we got to Moscow. Prices were excellent.

  If you're interested in Russian history, especially the earlier history before Romanoffs, I highly recommend making a visit here. This is the place where the young tsarevich Dmitry, son of Ivan the Terrible, was murdered. Boris Godunov might have issued the order to kill him, even though the investigation brought a result that he stabbed himself while having an epileptic seizure. Also, it is unclear what his title to the throne was as the rules of succession only recognized Ivan's sons from his first three wives and Dmitry was son of Ivan's seventh wife. Anyway it's one of the three Russian churches of spilled blood and thus a very important historic site. The entrance fee is not much for the amazing look into Russian history. Also, the inside of the church feature rather bloody and gruesome frescoes.

  Существует много легенд об этом месте, есть версия что младший сын Ивана Грозного, Дмитрий метая ножики в цель напором на ножик. Есть и другая версия что пришел убийца и убил Дмитрия. Храм очень красив.

  Помещение не большое. Это история нашей страны. Пытаешься понять те времена. И очень хороший ,хороший экскурсовод. А это важно. Она является автором сборника стихов об Угличе и экскурсия была проведена в основном в стихах. Внимательно слушали дети (младшие школьники),

  Останки невинно убиенного младшего сына Ивана Грозного оказались нетленными и царевич Дмитрий в начале 17-ого века был канонизирован. Стены храма ярко-красные, в цвет пролитой крови. Внутри неплохо сохранившиеся росписи со сценой убийства мальчика

  Visiting Uglich with Viking cruises was a great experience. Here We saw the Church of Prince Demitry The Martyr, built in 1690s where the body of Tsarevitch Dmirty was found. Also visited a Russian Family home. The city was founded in 1148, and has many parks, onion domed churches. You can also buy matroyshka dolls and lacquered boxes while touring the city. It was a great place to visit.
