Novgorod

Over the weekend I went to Novgorod.  Novgorod is one of the oldest towns in Russia.  The earliest mention of it in history is about 894.  At one point in time, there were over 200 churches.  Now there are only about 30 churches.  Novgorod also used to be bigger than Paris and London during the Medieval Era.  

Now it is a small city with many many beautiful churches.  There is also a river and forestry around.

Here are some of the pictures that my friend David took with his camera:
