The history of Alexandrov, of such unusual and striking interest, is reflected in its splendid monuments of art and architecture. They are not only of local importance. Many works of architecture, painting and applied art of Alexandrova Sloboda (the old name of the city) are outstanding in the history of early Russian art, some even unique. The most significant milestones in the history of early Russian art would be unthinkable were it not for the Basil (Vasilyevskiye) Doors, the Church of the Intercession and its frescoes or the bell tower in Alexandrov. That is why Alexandrov can be regarded as a true museum city, a city which has played an important part in the development of Russian culture.
