Зарайск
My native town Is situated in Moscow region. It is hour ride from Kolomna. I live in Zaraysk.
The history of Zaraysk can be derived from its location on the small Osetr River near the Oka River as southern bank.
It was founded in the middle of the 12–th centure. (1146)
My town is not very large. There about 25000 people who live here.
Every year hundreds of tourists come to Zaraysk. They want to visit the famous historical places of the town and other places of interest.
The existing Kremlin of Zaraysk with its three gate towers was built in 1528 -1531. The Brick walls are covered with white stone plate, which is the most characteristic feature of this small Kremlin.
St. Nicolas cathedral, built in 1681 represents the most developed stage of ancient Russian architecture.
Prince D. Pozharsky was bon in Zaraysk.
My native town becomes especially beautiful in early spring when there is a great many rose-shrubs I flowerbeds and everything is in blossom.
Those who want to have some entertainment can go to the Recreation Park that famous for its carrousels and all sorts of side-shows.
Those who prefer dancing may go to a disco. Its rather popular with young people especially teenagers.
We have lot of opportunities to go in for sports because there are two big stadiums, swimming-pool and gymnasiums in the town.
I quite forgot to tell you that there are some good cafes un my town, you can call at any of them.
I like my native town very much.
