Yaroslav's Court (Yaroslavovo Dvorishche in Russian) was the princely compound in the city of Novgorod the Great.
Since the 11 century Yaroslav's Court - the main political and trading center in ancient Novgorod. It was named after the prince residence that was founded by Yaroslav the Wise.
The Novgorod Veche (citizen's assembly) held it's meetings by St. Nicholas Cathedral's walls; the Veche square bordered on the old Market Place and thus the river right bank in Novgorod was called the Trading Side. In the early 12 century in the reign of Mstislav Vladimirovich and his son Vsevolod at Yaroslav's Courtyard were built St. Nicholas Cathedral, the Church of St. John on Opoky and the Assumption Church at the Market. In XIII-XVI cc. stone churches were built here by merchant's units of Novgorod the Great.
