604 RU - Historic Monuments of Novgorod and Surroundings (1992)

Brief Description

"Situated on the ancient trade route between Central Asia and northern Europe, Novgorod was Russia's first capital in the 9th century. Surrounded by churches and monasteries, it was a centre for Orthodox spirituality as well as Russian architecture. Its medieval monuments and the 14th-century frescoes of Theophanes the Greek (Andrei Rublev's teacher) illustrate the development of its remarkable architecture and cultural creativity."

诺夫哥罗德及其周围的历史古迹

"诺夫哥罗德是中亚通往北欧的古代贸易要道,也是9世纪时俄国的第一个首都。由于拥有众多的教堂和修道院,诺夫哥罗德成为东 正教的牧师中心和俄国的建筑中心。它的中世纪遗址群以及14世纪希腊狄奥凡(安德烈·鲁比洛夫的老师)的壁画,描述了这座城市的著名建筑的发展以及文化创 造力。"
