St. Demetrius' Cathedral (Vladimir)

 interesting place, UNESCO World Heritage Site, 12th century construction, Orthodox church
The cathedral of St. Demetrius was built in 1194–1197 as a private chapel of Vsevolod the Big Nest in the courtyard of his palace and was consecrated to his holy patron, St. Demetrius. For all its formal unity, the cathedral represents a truly international project of Russian and Byzantine masters, Friedrich Barbarossa's masons, and carvers sent by Queen Tamar of Georgia. A survivor from the 12th century, the exterior was elaborately carved with the high relief stone sculptures.
