  • 4. Trinity Cathedral Pskov
    The Trinity Cathedral is located in the Pskov Krom or Kremlin on the east bank of the Velikaya River. It has, since 1589, been the mother church of the Pskov Eparchy.

  • 13. Church of The Holy Virgin Dubrovitsy
    The architecture of cathedrals, basilicas and abbey churches is characterised by the buildings' large scale and follows one of several branching traditions of form, function and style that all ultimately derive from the Early Christian architectural traditions established in the Constantinian period. Cathedrals, as well as many abbey churches and basilicas, have certain complex structural forms that are found less often in parish churches. They also tend to display a higher level of contemporary architectural style and the work of accomplished craftsmen, and occupy a status both ecclesiastical and social that an ordinary parish church does not have.
