“This group of monuments is located in the historic city of Pskov, on the banks of the Velikaya River in the northwest of Russia. Characteristics of these buildings, produced by the Pskov School of Architecture, include cubic volumes, domes, porches and belfries, with the oldest elements dating back to the 12th century. Churches and cathedrals are integrated into the natural environment through gardens, perimeter walls and fences. Inspired by the Byzantine and Novgorod traditions, the Pskov School of Architecture reached its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries, and was one of the foremost schools in the country. It informed the evolution of Russian architecture over five centuries. “
普斯科夫学派教堂建筑
”组成该遗产的各教堂、修道院、防御塔及附属建筑位于俄罗斯西北部普斯科夫古城的韦利卡亚河沿岸。方体、穹顶、门廊和钟楼是这些普斯科夫学派建筑的共同特征，教堂在花园、围墙及栅栏的映衬下与当地自然景观融为一体。其中最古老的建筑可追溯至12世纪。普斯科夫学派受拜占庭和诺夫哥罗德传统的影响，在15-16世纪达到顶峰，是俄罗斯当时最具影响力的流派之一，5个多世纪以来一直影响着该国建筑的演变和发展。"
