How to locate us
Let's feast our eyes upon Pskov. Good Lord, what a large city! Like Paris!
(from Yan Piotrovsky's, who was a secretary of Stefan Batory, diary, 1583)

The chroniclers mentioned Pskov for the first time in 903 when Kiev prince
Igor married Olga from Pskov. But Pskov was founded much earlier: It's
mentioned nowhere when Pleskov city appeared and who was it's founder,
it's only known, that it already existed when prince Ryurik with his fraternity
came from Varangians to Slavs to reign...
Bright ancient history of Pskov is connected with its frontier location.
For 500 years it was the defence center of Northwest Russia from foreign
invasions (from 1116 till 1709 Pskov was engaged in 123 wars with external
enemies) and at the same time it was a very important transit station
in trade with Baltic countries and Hanza (union of German citites).
Behind four lines of Pskov fortification walls there were more than 150
temples! Pskov holded the third place in Russia after Moscow and Novgorod
by its population. Nowadays regardless the consequences of wars and revolutions
Pskov holds nearly the first place in Russia by the number of ancient
monuments.
We live in the center of Old City, on the ground every square meter of
which holds memory of milennial history.
Our dogs becames an artists sometimes. From left to right: Giulia
