Kolomna - Museum of Pastila

Kolomna is one of the richest cities in the Moscow region with architectural monuments. It has been known since the 12th century as the city of the Chernigov principality. The Grand Duke of Moscow and Vladimir Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy distinguished Kolomna from other Russian cities. For him, she was the second most important city after his native Moscow. The city is washed by three rivers at once (the Moskva River, Oka and Kolomenka), on the banks of which there are many civil buildings unique to Central Russia. These are bourgeois estates, and the possessions of the middle class of tsarist Russia, municipal buildings, wooden outbuildings. Everything here breathes history: churches and monasteries, low cozy houses, front gardens on small streets, paving stones, steep river banks.
