In the very heart of Opolye, among the lands of Vladimir and Suzdal, lies the old town of Yuriev-Polsky. It takes its name from the boundless fields around it (“Polsky” means “of the fields”). Founded in 1152 by Yuri Dolgoruky, the town is 180 kilometers (112 miles) from Moscow. Let's set off on a journey through its ancient streets and learn its history!
