Pskov attractions on the map

The route links a documented execution with what later tradition added to it.

The exposed foundations will show how tightly packed the princely, judicial, and ecclesiastical quarter by the Pskov Krom was.

Here, the restored tower marks one end of a vanished barrier across the river entrance.

The caves will show how the story of the first burial shaped the layout of the monastery necropolis.

Here the route moves from the fortress’s overall silhouette to a passage designed to hold up those who entered.

The final point will reconstruct, from the two towers and the open span, the site of the river barrier that stopped the assault.

The main entrance lets you see the monastery at once as a holy site and a border fortress.

The long fortified entrance makes it possible to see how the fortress was once taken without a breach.

Here it will become clear which weakness from the siege they endured the builders turned into a stone gallery.

The starting point offers an overall view of the fortress promontory and introduces the theme of lost and restored city landmarks.

After Veche Square, another form of government appears here—with an archive, a seal, departments, and the voivode's chamber.

This stop will show the water source as part of the local economy and the old lake route.

The finale will explain why the military memorial retained the soldiers’ names but has no figure of the commander.

This stop connects the main church with the place where the city’s documents were kept and where the veche was assembled for the last time.

Here, the legend of Izborsk's first prince will meet what archaeology has and has not been able to establish.

The tower will link fortress defense with everyday movement across the bridge, trade, and the work of modern restorers.
