Kolomna

Kolomna, a city with a 900-year history, served as the outpost of the Grand Principality of Moscow in the 14th century with the walls of the Kolomna Kremlin protecting the capital from attacks from the south-east. One of the most legendary battles in Russian history - the Battle of Kulikovo - was held on a field not far from Kolomna. Kolomna's merchant quarter is one of many well-preserved areas that hasn't changed since the 19th century. With a visit to the Museum of Forgotten Tastes, you can find out the recipe for the natural pastille that used to be made in Kolomna and was then sent to the Imperial Court. Get acquainted with Kolomna's ancient monuments and monasteries, its kremlin - which is only 30 years younger than Moscow's - and the city's Kolomna Seminary in RTG TV's new programme.
