Ryazan, a hidden gem in Central Russia, boasts a population of 525 thousand, making it the third largest city in the region after Moscow and Yaroslavl. Despite its size and close proximity to Moscow (only 200 km away), Ryazan remains delightfully provincial, blending its industrial and transportation significance with charming historical attractions. While it may not be a prominent tourist destination, the city's rich history and various points of interest make it an ideal weekend escape from the bustling capital. Founded in 1095 AD, the original site of Ryazan was completely decimated by the Mongols in 1237, becoming the first obstacle in their conquest of Russia. Rebuilt in a new location a few dozen kilometers away, this resilient city continues to captivate visitors with its allure and allure them with its heritage.
