Moscow - 2 Kolomenskoe

We took the subway away and headed to Kolomenskoe. Here is the information from Wikipedia. 

Kolomenskoye (Russian: Коло́менское) is a former royal estate situated several kilometers to the southeast of the city center of Moscow, Russia, on the ancient road leading to the town of Kolomna (hence the name). The 390 hectare scenic area overlooks the steep banks of the Moskva River. It became a part of Moscow in the 1960s.

First it was mentioned in 1339. Crazy, huh? We started where my Dad's finger is at Metro Kolomenskoe and we ended up at Kashirskaya.

I really do.

 Savior (Back) gates. 1673

You walk on Linden Valley that was created in 1825.
I do not remember the name of this church though.

 Front Gates. 1672

 1532. Church of Ascension.In 1994 church was included in UNESCO heritage list.

We walked down to the Moscow river embarkement. SOOOO pretty especially with this cathedral far away among regular appartment buildings.

 Hi there! :)

I liked the view. When you go along the river, you can see families with kids, people on bikes, friends sitting and chatting. So relaxing.

 When we walked to this building we were not sure what it was. Restaurant? Then I read about it on the post. Amazing!

This is the original site of the wooden place of the tsar Alexey Mikhailovich built in 1667-1672. The original palace was dismanted as the time worn it in 1767 at the order of the empress Catherine II. By the present the palace has been reconstructed with the original drawings.

This was the original structure and they built the one on the top by blue prints. Wow!

Here is Google's image. So beautiful.

We were glad we picked a different way to get back to the subway. We walked along the park that had such weird art pieces that we were just shrugging our shoulders thinking we did not understand much but it was fun :)
