Krasnoe and Dobroe

I was born and live in the city of Vladimir. This is not a very big city, but very beautiful. Ancient Vladimir is located in the picturesque countryside. It is situated on the left bank of the Klyazma. To the north and east of the Lybed and Irpenvalley there is a breathtaking relief: its heights are now almost accreted with the city of the ancient villagesof Krasnoe and Dobroe, with their impressive set by distance and prominent churches and bell towers.

I live in Dobroe. It is one of the fast growing areas of the city. The massive housing constructioncontinues in Dobroe, there are the largest cinema in the city "RusKino" and the shopping center "Globus". There is alsothe bypass road - federal highway M7"Volga", popularly referred to as "pekinka".

Krasnoe village appeared on the left bank of the river Rpen. It stood on a high hill, called the Red mountain. Red mountain meant - a beautiful mountain.                  

Vladimir is more than thousand years old. It was the city founded by grand prince Vladimir Monomakh.

I like Vladimir! Despite its size, the city has many places of interest – the Golden Gates, the Cathedral of Saint Demetrius, Dormition Cathedral and others.

Every year the city is visited by many tourists from different cities of Russia and other countries. Vladimir is also a part of the Golden Ring of Russia. The city has several beautiful parks, where people love to relax and have fun spending their free time.

At present the city is building many modern and beautiful buildings, shopping centers. All this makes my city more beautiful than ever!
