The Church of Prince Dimitri On Blood (1692) is the most prominent and historical buildings in Uglich. It was constructed by a special order of Peter the Great on the place where Tsarevich Dmitry died that explains why the church is called "On Blood".
The Palace of Tsarevich Dmitry represents the oldest building in the town of Uglich. Founded in 1480 it is one of a few Russian palaces preserved till today.
The Cathedral of Transfiguration was built in 1713. It has five green onion domes.
The interior has an ornate iconostasis as well beautifully painted murals and vaulted ceiling.
Sadly, the cold drizzle caused us to curtail further independent exploration of Uglich.
